Remembered why I like it.
|
Because when in Texas...  www.titos-vodka.com/ |
 |
I received a bottle of that as part of my Christmas exchange present from Gloftoe! That was great stuff! I happened to snag another bottle of Tito's when I was in Texas fro a trial last month!

I've found that Grey Goose and Belvedere are very comparable, but I believe that Belvedre is Polish, and Grey Goose is French - which makes the decision easier  Btw - speaking of really good vodkas, there is a Danish brand called Friis that's REALLY good. If you run across it, definitely try it. |
 Ketel One IS Dutch, unless I'm mistaken Please don't tell me you're putting stuff in your mouth without knowing what it is!!!
|
Dammit - now I've just contributed to the misperception. Damn my knowledge of foreign booze!!
|
I WISH ! I've lived in misery in the last 15 years because you can't get Tuborg beer in St. Louis or Chicago (probably anywhere in the midwest). If I knew of a way to get it here, I'd be drinking some right now . There's a rumor that one of the Danish furniture stores sneak in a bunch of it in a container full of Danish furniture every year, but I've never seen any evidence of that.Although you can get Akvavit - a very old Danish drink, that it like a herbed/spiced vodka, and which I find very tasty - especially on cold winter days. |
Grey Goose is made in FRANCE. The "fart" joke is Monty Python. Ketel One is made in Holland. Best foreign stuff, IMO. Titos is made in Austin , Texas. I love this stuff too. Getting more and more of it lately. Doing my small part to contribute to the local economy.

Ketel is not vodka, it is a drink made of juniper berry's. Juniper is 'jenever' in dutch. and that is the name of the drink over here in the netherlands. There are 2 kinds of Jenever young and old. www.ketel1.nl/indexflash.htm |
You'd think the Professor would know that.  Being local and all.
|
too bad i cant say that, it's 09:50 over here and work just started |
|
ok, I have to admit the shot inside the beer was pretty smooth. I really never thought of vodka as a bar/late night drink, even though I know several serious drinkers that only drink vodka. I always think of vodka as a morning drink or girly drink. Anyways, EdTo, can I ship you a bottle of Tito's to measure against your best stuff? |
