All of the Stolichnaya sold in the USA is distilled in Lithuania. So it is really not Russian.
Thank you. I got a bottle of that really cheap about 5 years ago and couldn’t remember what it was called and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I liked it, but I’d probably go with a potato vodka these days.
My favorite flavor of theirs, that I haven’t tried: purple. No not grape, they have that already. (I guess it’s just a different grape, now that I looked it up).
They also make Dude (lemon lime), Loopy (Froot Loops. Weird considering most people don’t even realize they are all the same flavor), and other weird ones.

^^^^ This. Nice stuff and not expensive.
And the guy’s actual last name is Beverage.
Monopolowa (potatoes, Austria) used to be dirt cheap, but it’s not anymore. Still not silly expensive, though. And…okay.
Mind you, I’m happy so long as it doesn’t say “Florida” on the label (nothing against Florida, I’ve just had some really, really unpleasant experiences with Florida liquor).
I don’t know what it is but you can buy a huge bottle of vodka for about 5 bucks At Walmart here.
That’s more warning than endorsement.
In Jamaica, distillers sell bottles (by the case) of gin, vodka, whisky, rum with no label. Resorts slap on their own label thinking it looks classy. The stuff is fine in a mostly fruit juice concoction, but don’t try to sip it straight up!
Seconded. If I’m buying vodka, that’s what I’m buying.
Poland Spring used to make a pretty decent and very inexpensive vodka. I haven’t had it for years, but apparently it’s still for sale. The New Hampshire state liquor stores are selling it for $5.79 per liter. Not my favorite for drinking straight but good enough for mixing. Presumably it’s grain-neutral spirits mixed with Poland Spring water.
For straight drinking, I prefer Luksusowa, which sells for $19 per 1.75 liter bottle. Maybe there are people who can tell the difference between Luksusowa and more expensive brands, but I am not one of them.
