Cheap vodkas are not all created equal. Or at least, that’s what we learned when we made our spirits writer Jason Horn blind taste five different vodkas available for under $12: Smirnoff, Svedka, UV, Popov, and Pinnacle. Watch Jason suffer through each taste test to learn which bottom-shelf vodka came out on top.

Vodka is a unique drink. How you describe it's quality is completely unintuitive. Generally speaking, a better vodka has *less* pronounced flavors. A basic way to look at it is that it should be as flavorless as possible. Obviously as you get more invested into it it does get a little more complex, but that's the gist. Which is honestly why I prefer whiskey, like Scotch or Bourbon, because it's way more interesting in my opinion. Even the cheapest whiskeys are more interesting than the most expensive vodkas I've tried. But, to each there own.

Because Vodka is by definition pure ethanol mixed with water. The only difference between brands is the water they use which can have a slightly different taste. An imperfect distillation process (which would be expected from the cheapest brands) can also leave impurities in the ethanol and alter the taste. If you can still taste the original fruit/plant used to make the alcohol then you are drinking a cheap, low quality vodka. Lastly, brands could also add artificial flavoring to try to differentiate themselves from the competition but once again, this would typically be something that low quality brands do.

I will disagree. I’m Ukrainian living in Poland and I can approve that there is difference between ukr and pol vodka in smell and taste. Mostly Ukrainian vodka was better but there is one more thing, some vodka brands can taste different through the years or in other countries. I don’t know how to explain this but this could be the reason of water quality or distillation.

@@cedric7751 you clearly don't know anything about alcohol distillation there are a lot of factors involved even with something like vodka a good vodka should minimize the offensive tastes and odors while still retaining a floral and or herbaceous flavor purely from the oils that were distilled into the alcohol from the original Mash.

Why in the beginning of the video did he state 'I'm going to taste test bottom shelf vodka". The audience should know that the vodka is cheap not the person doing the taste testing. Therefore, when he does the taste test he won't have the thought of bottom shelf vodka in his head. No need to get angry, it's just common sense.

"Tastes like nothing... A-" "Tastes like nothing... C+" Notice how regarding Smirnoff he also said that "this is what the law says vodka should be" yet gives it a rating undeserving of such a description. A perfect example of these types of "experts" really just liking to run their mouth. Pure pomposity. As an "actual" expert on alcohols since my sailing and college days, when it comes to the standard cheap stuff, at least in the US, Smirnoff is hard to beat. When in Europe I'll usually go for Serkova if I had to choose between the two. I find the taste differences between corn vs grain so subtle that it's negligible - motivating me to simply reach for the cheaper option.

I do not lie, I once went to a wine tasting evening led by an expert who explained all the metrics we had to assess a wine by. We then had a series of wines to try, and judge by the metrics. We did not know what the wines were and such was revealed at the end of the evening. The most expensive scored bottom, the cheapest (some supermarket cheap plonk) came top. I remember that the most expensive tasted like vinegar and was almost undrinkable.

@BC FOSTER they were a bit wrong on the explanation there... But basically what @Ya Dingus was referring to is when people cant stop drinking alcohol meaning alcohol becomes this addictive thing that turns into something unhealthy because if youre addicted to something you tend to want to consume it as much as you can and we all know its not good for our health if you consume too much alcohol... Drinking alcohol is fine and all but you gotta have a limit... So yeah, the "cant stop drinking alcohol" doesnt always necessarily mean that that person is addictive but in that context they were talking about addiction rather than your lifestyle/habit/hobby

Popov is harsh as well for me, the smell immediately makes me want to vomit. I love vodka still to this day, although I lean more towards decent tequila (|I’d take a Cazadores over Titos, for example). I honestly couldn’t take any of this seriously when he rated it highly, it’s one of the worst vodkas I’ve ever tasted and has such a strong pungent burning smell it doesn’t even mix well. The others aren’t good either but at least they blend decently. Took several passes through a Britta filter (back in the day when it was easier to get a filter than specific alcohol brands being underaged) to make it passable.

My drink of choice for getting drunk on a budget is New Amsterdam. Tito's is my "getting drunk when I have some money to burn" drink, but if I actually want to enjoy an alcoholic drink it's basically anything but vodka. How anyone can enjoy vodka is beyond me, but my Sebian wife and her family love it. They make fun of me for pounding it while they sip it, but good god anyone who enjoys vodka has mental issues. Anyone who graduated college has learned to put down shots. So to me, the only factors that really matter are price and alcohol content.

I’m trying to think of some a quasi-normal advice (without calling the kettle black). I guess I’m lucky I get BAD hang-overs which limits my alcohol intake. I hit a point where I say to myself ‘this NEXT drink WILL give me a hangover”. I get HORRIFIC hangovers. So at a point I might stop drinking, I’ll say to myself, ‘is it worth it?’ Because my hangovers totally ruin the next day. What’s that saying “everything in moderation”. I won’t bring up cannabis. ALSO, you mention “I’m the alcoholic”, WE ALL drink some are in denial some think 3 drinks a night is normal….where do you draw the line. EVERYBODY draws a different line!! So who is right/wrong?

He didn’t tell me which vodkas he would be using. I correctly identified the first to be stolichnya, the second was absolut, and the last one was grey goose. He was amazed that anyone could identify the flavors of each vodka. It all started when I asked him for a polish potato vodka. He thought I was bs’ing him about vodka flavors. Well, I got to drink free that night.
