question regarding vodka...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

...since i'm sure there's a lot of knowledgeable people about it here. i ran into this strange vodka with a straw of hay inside, it's polish and brand is Grasovka Bison. Now, i generally only drink russian vodka, it's sort of principle to me, but this one...well, as it's quite expensive (one can get high quality russian vodka, like Russky Standard, for the price of this), i'd like to know if anyone has experience with this and if it's any good for a purist like me?

i know this is silly but vodka is important to me and i don't know where else to ask.

Thanks,
dei

I had a bottle of that once. It was ace. I fell over.

But then, I'll drink any vodka and fall over. Even the rubbish they make over here. :P

Dave, thanks...your 'ace' has more weight for having the sense to call english vodka rubbish. i once had the displeasure of having to drink Smirnoff straight...i admit, i fell over, but there's nicer ways of falling over than that :)

As for 42 Below....must say i'm a strict traditionalist and stay away from anything as hip and pop as that :P i heard they even make red wine in new zealand these days...what in the world, indeed.

Grasovska is very good indeed, tastes almost identical to Zubrowka Bison Brand. They are best drunk with tonic water, which mixes very well with the flavour of the grass. They are also excellent served straight up (in the usual way) as icy cold shots.

I also like Stolichnaya, Moskovskaya and Wyborowa (another one from Poland).

What exactly is it you need to make Bison grass out of grass? Bison pee?

You know, in the Berlin/Brandenburg dialect, the word "Ketel" means "small piece of sh*t",
So we have Bison pee and Ketel.
Fancy a smoke, anyone?

Whiskey or beer for me, please.
