Is Finlandia any good?

Fuck do I know about vodka? Had an urge for a vodka orange,
and the bevee shop had some Russian stuff, Absolut and
Finlandia.

I bought the Finlandia on the principle that good minimal
ambient techno (Pan Sonic) and good operating systems
(Linux) come from Finland.

I'll never buy Absolut - I don't care how good it is, it
makes the statement I OBEY MY CONSUMER PROGRAMMING.

So yeh, vodka and orange tonight, and probably Lost in
Translation if I ain't too trashed.

It's not bad at all. My current "commonly available"
favourite is Altai.

Polish vodka is where it's at though IMO.

I saw at least one Polish brand there, have to try it next
time.

Just had a straight shot of the Finlandia right out of the
freezer - man is it ever smooth and clean. I mean, by my
standards, and I'm hardly a vodka expert.

Yes, you really notice the difference with quality vodkas
when drinking it: straight, without ice and fresh out of the
freezer.

The reason most people (even those who'd happily drink
whiskey straight) balk at drinking vodka straight is that
its comparatively neutral taste has made it a popular choice
for mixers. As a result, people use cheap vodka in cocktails
(it's fine to, I do), but they're rough as old boots to
drink straight. When they try a nice vodka straight they're
suprised by how easily it goes down.

I consider cheap "mixing" vodkas to be like cooking wine-
fine for what it's intended for, but not much else ;)

Do it with cream instead of milk if you want it as slammers
rather than a long drink :)

Isn't the thing you described a white russian? Whatever it
is, it's a staple of the poker nights friends and I hold.

I have discovered that the buzz from good Vodka is not like
the buzz from other alcohols. You don't feel drunk dumb and
slurred like, you get happy and playful!

Amazing stuff. From now on I am going to capitalize the word
Vodka out of respect.

Yes, Spar brand vodka tastes just as good as Altai. Only
posers drink more expensive types. :P
