That's because they are shitty low quality, no-one buys that kind of shit in the west.

What are some of the most popular brand names in the west, dealing with distilled products. Patron, Moonshine, Vodka, Jack Daniels, and Crown are probably the most popular in Florida.

haha, the only reason you say that is because you are a russian and people are making russians look like crap, and you know what they are saying is true. you dont seem to have a problem with the thread about americans, in fact if i remember correctly you were all about ripping on us there. hypocracy much?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that any of those are Russian.

isnt vodka? idk where patron and crown are from, but moonshine and jack are both from the US...tenessee i believe

**Arc** · 05-18-2006, 12:29 AM

smirnoff vodka is russian, as is most good vodka out there, which is about the only good thing to come out of russia imo

Depends. Essentially, Sake is vodka as well, just made from rice. Most of Russian vodka is actually made of potatoes, so they don't have a very old culture for making vodka. On the other hand, the Baltic regions, such as Estonias and Livonians have a long history of making vodka out of grain.

I don't actually like Russian vodka, and it's not considered good either. Your typical Russian vodka exports are Stolichnaya (spelling?) and Moskavskaya (spelling?). Your avarage bottle of Absolut is much better quality than that. By the way, Absolut vodka is from Sweden.

Oh and there are 2 Estonian vodka exports to the U.S. Maybe you guys should give them a try, I like them a lot. They are called Türi and Stön.

**Bloodangel26** · 05-18-2006, 01:06 PM

i would, but i am not a vodka fan....tastes too similar to rubbing alcohol for me

Sorry, never heard of them, and I'm not really a Vodka fan either. More into Jack and Crown and Wild Turkey, just on occasion.

Yeah, they are premium exports, cost quite a bit as well.

**Z3R0** · 05-22-2006, 02:52 AM

but in all fairness, they are really worth it. No?

The vodka? Well, I checked some table a while ago, it was a list of top vodkas, made by Americans, and both Stön and Türi were in there, 5th and 4th respectively. I have not tried Türi, but Stön is really good. And I don't mind paying a lot for a bottle of alcohol, as long as it's nice and high quality. There was only one Russian vodka in that top 10 list, by the way.

Have you tried "Grey Goose" ? Goes down like water compared to smirnoff

I haven't actually tried it, even though I've heard of it so many times...

If you want something similar, try Belvedere, a premium Polish export. It's extremely clean.

**Arc** · 05-22-2006, 07:42 AM

lol well i prefer everclear/moonshine over all
