I'm going to get a the smallest bottle of each. Savor it one bottle at a time, and give a shout out to my fave.

When I discovered Grey Goose I thought I found the very best of the best (ever)
but over time it lost its special something.
Maybe its me, or, maybe they tweaked something,
but it lost its pure, clear flavor, to a slightly alcoholy sting..almost salty.
So we had to part ways.
Big disappointment, so I hopped the fence to Tito-land. Tito's has depth..

Yesterday I bought the first bottle is Stolichnaya. It puts Grey Goose to shame.
Its like pouring ice water.

So, when this small bottle of 375 millilters, is empty.
I will do the same with all other suggestions, above: Chopin, Svedka, Finlandia, Ketel One, Syr....

Okay, its Zyr, then Chopin which was suggested by two ppl.

..but I have to say, in all fairness, the Stoli called me back offering me its silver icy coolness in a most hypnotically quenching way which now gives me the standard by which to compare.

I was dragging around like a small hangover from one straight shot last night...
Grey Goose never did that.

So high marks for the cool, wet, no-alcohol flavor of the Stoli, but points lost for the hangover.

Two shots left then onto Zyr and Chopin, followed by the others listed above.

Chopin is really good and this Dutch brand called Effen is, too.
