Like Bose gear, it's not bad, but it's marketed very well.

Waste of money. In blind taste tests vodka experts cant tell the difference between Smirnoff* level vodkas and the pricey brands. You get below Smirnoff in the price department and you can get some harsh vodkas.
*Needs to be in a glass bottle. Plastic is a no go unless you are making mixers.

Is the hype real? Some girls I know that is all they drink. No, it is consistently beaten in taste tests by Svedka which costs about what Smirnoff does. |

If you are talking other types of alcohol brand matters but I can't really tell the difference between the higher end vodkas. The cheap shit probably sucks I don't know never tried it. I rotate between stoli, titos, belvedere, absolut, grey goose, etc and quite frankly can't tell the difference between any of them. |

It is very good, bit also over hyped and over priced
FWIW. Kirkland Brand Vodka (Costco) is made in the same distillery, and about half the price. Is it the same? I don't know, it sure tastes like it to me. You can decide for your self. |

It was created from day one to be an "ultra premium" spirit that relies on marketing and image to sell. Part of that image is a hefty price tag. It costs more, so it must be better. It doesn't hurt that the people that it's marketed to don't know shit about booze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Frank |

For a similar price I prefer Chopin which is potato based. I haven't drank vodka in a few years though since graduating to whiskey, so to speak.

Vodka is vodka. Do a blind taste test with all the high end brands and Smirnoff and see which one you chose. Try it again a week later and see if the results are the same.

I used to travel a lot for business with a guy who'd have a shot of grey goose and a sleeping pill every night to get to sleep in the hotel.
Didn't seem like a good combination, IMO. |

Was an interesting Myth Busters test. They ran cheap vodka through a Britta filter, 1-5 times, and compared it against a 'top shelf' label. One of the testers was an expert, he was 100% correct in his ID of top shelf, how many times each cheap brand was filtered, etc. *ETA* Show hosts could not really tell the difference. Jamie was 2 for 5, IIRC. |

Ignoring the stupid skull bottle, crystal head is very smooth and crisp. I wish they would put it in a normal bottle and cut the price by a third. Titos is pretty good, but I prefer belvedere or crystal head...however, titos is great for the price.
