Poll of the Day > Grey Goose vodka...

(+) Yeah! (+)

I decided to buy this because I wanted something new to try, and I wanted to see if this was worth its hefty price tag.

I paid nearly $5 for one 50ml bottle of it in commievania, but thats a hell of a deal if I decide its not worth buying. If it was good I'd eat the inflated cost.

So, this is made from French wheat.

It smells kinda like generic "decent" vodka. I notice no real character(or alcohol) but that off vodka smell prevalent in some Vodkas(all three wheats I've had lately - absolut, svedka, and goose had it) is here in a medium strength. Not much going on in the sniffs which isn't really that bad of a thing, but yeah no real character. No pepper, no lemon pine sol, no vanilla, or butterscotch. SNIFFLESS.

So what does 50ml straight in a glencairn glass taste like?

It is very strong in a sense. no real alcohol in the taste but that vodka packs a punch with a bit of a peppery feel to it. Not terrible.

I do not think this is a good value. its like 30-35 bucks for a 750ml bottle, and around 60 for 1.75. Just...it would probably make a good mixer, but at the same time stuff nearly half the price can also do this. No real defining character to it. Pretty unoffensive but still, over priced.

The extremely large Grey Goose 1.75L bottle is made so big to attract more attention on a bar shelf, I'm pretty sure. This vodka is merely a status symbol and nothing more, if you ask me. Over rated and over priced.

Sometimes I ask my manager at the liqour store if I "need to go" he's allowed to use the grey goose 1.75L bottle, and nothing else, to put me out of my misery.

is $35 a decent price for a half baked murder weapon? You decide.

Meanwhile, cheapest vodka there is.

This may or may not be vodka cut with neutral grain spirits, but a challenger appears!

oh shit i forgot crown russe is a sazerac product.

they also make another product that keeps entire communities around here alive: nikolai.

mmmkay sazerac, I know you'd love to hear from your customers but if they're all dead, well.

Grey Goose and Belvedere are my two favorite vodkas, I just dont drink them because of the price.

As far as Nikolai goes, I typically buy that one, as do most bars because they use it as their house vodka, because it mixes well.
