Almost forgot about the bacon vodka.

The flavor of bacon is like any Banana flavored candy, you just cant fake it and its all disgusting aborts.

Every vodka filtered more than 5 times taste exactly the same for 99% of the population.
Vodka is basic liquor. A 40$ bottle of 5 times filtered vodka tastes the same as a 6 times filtered 900$ bottle.
If you're part on that 1% of vodka connoisseur than good for you. If not, stop paying for expensive vodka. Mid shelf priced vodka of any brand will taste the exact same thing as the bottle next to it.
In fact that's why vodka producers invest so much in bottle design. They know they are selling filtered vodka like everyone else so they get creative with the bottle. Some producers make skull shaped bottles, other make them seem like there's a ghost in them, others have glass art at the bottom... It's all about the art. Not the product.

I only drink vodka that has been purified by the bladder of an Elk, it gets rid of the addictive properties.

Exactly. Hence my earlier vote for Kirkland Signature (Costco's house brand for those who don't know), 1.75L distilled six-times Vodka for the astoundingly low low price of $13. Side note, Costco recently changed distillers for their Kirkland Signature Añejo tequila, and while it's not quite as interesting as some añejo's, it's still very good, and absolutely remarkable that they can sell a liter of it for $19.99! One of my favorite sipping tequilas is Casamigos repasado, which Costco also carries here in California. But at $40 for 750 mL of the Casamigos repasado, I still pick up a bottle of the KS añejo for less than half the unit price.

Agreed that anything more than 5 times seem insignificant, but has to be atleast 2-3 times imo. Also true that the hard alcohol bottle has a first impression appeal like hot sauces do.

Grey Goose is not made in Finland but in French and is not made of potatoes but whey.
IMHO stoli or ruski standard are nice. next level compared to smirnoff or finlandia vodka.

How many times its filtered is a sales gimmick.
All the shitty western vodka are made using chemicals AND artificial sweeteners to make it taste better, no good

Year was 2001
Happened to sit in the sauna with this guy, and we started talking about real Russian vodka, it was his words, he said "It was the sweetest thing I ever tasted" 
Vodka in Russian not only good but cheap too

OMG! Tito's, and Ketel One are two others I used to go with occasionally.
Anyone ever tried Dan Aykroyd's "Crystal Head Vodka?" I remember it being pretty smooth as well.

Stolichnaya is good enough for me. Not a connoisseur or anything. I don't really get that when it comes to vodka. Optimally it's just water and ethanol.
