OT: Let's talk liquor that isn't whiskey

[Chesusdog]

Reeds or Gosling are the best bets. Didn't care much for Fever Tree.

Plantation Rum is excellent neat. Supposedly they are changing their name though. You can probably guess why..

 

[SheltonChoked]

Try Monopolowa. I bet you cannot tell the difference, and it's $18.49 for a handle. https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/vodka/vodka/monopolowa-vodka/p/96425175?

I like Tito's, but i like the extra $9.50 better. https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/vodka/vodka/titos-handmade-vodka/p/96260175-1

Goslings or Fever Tree.

If you are in TX, The Central Market House brand is good too.

Paul Masson VSOP Brandy is my go to. I’ve bought Cognac for triple the price that isn’t as good. Mix it up with some Pepsi and you’re ready to go.

If you like Titos Vodka

then try Smith Works. Save a few $. (very similar)

Fortunately I like Burnetts when doing vodka.

Get some of that Paul Masson Peach Brandy and keep it in your freezer. Then, you can get a bump of that when you grab a fresh Milwaukee's Best to reset your palate so you can taste all the nuances of flavor that the beast has to offer. Pair that up with a nice salisbury steak TV dinner and you will know how the fancy people live.

Nyquil. Get a good buzz and it clears you nasal passages too.

And cheap AF.

Old fashion homebrew.

 

[BulldogBillyCrash]

You say vodka is vodka and then suggest one of the more expensive brands?

Smirnoff is fine. Below that you get into redistilled denatured alcohol territory and that's bad juju.

Smithworks is by far the best bang for your buck vodka

And cheap AF.

And baptist approved.

I haven't read the whole thread, but for you french vodka drinkers, Costco's Kirkland vodka regularly beats out Grey Goose in blind taste tests. And it's half the price.
