It's the closest you get to "tasteless" alcohol although it should be slightly sweet and not too dry it doesn't have a lingering effect. That's why girls like to drink it with juice.

>>9044777
Most liquor just tastes like alcohol to me, I probably don't have a refined pallet but a shot of vodka has a cleaner feel than whiskey, I don't know how to explain it

>>9044777
like your life didn't go the way you wanted it to.

It's pretty tasteless, but still would have a strong "bite" for someone who's never drunken alcohol before. I usually get flavored vodka anyway.

>It's pretty tasteless
Is this why Slavs love it? It's just as bland and depressing as everything else in their country.

Tastes like a "chemical" is how it comes to mind. In practice, this is a neutral taste. You use it in cocktails where you want to preserve the flavor of the mixer.

Alcohol. That's it

Vodka is made by distilling potato or grain until it's 96% vol, then diluted with water down to around 30-40%. It's not matured or spiced in any way (bar flavored vodka, duh)

Some vodkas have small amounts of sugar in them but most ppl think that's heresy

spicy smokey impure chemicals

Is there any point in buying expensive vodka over the cheapest shit you can find since it's basically tasteless alcohol water anyway?

yes. if you drink on the rocks without a doubt you can tell the difference. also good quality vodka gives you less of hangover than poor quality

>>9045048
Because smirnoff makes me puke while other stuff doesn't

>>9044777
It tastes like sweet water and spice if your used to drinking. However if you don't drink often or at all sip on it or it will take your breath away and feel like fire.

>>9044777
It tastes like how drain cleaner smells.
It's the most rancid smelling and tasting alcohol you can get.
I don't know how the fuck anyone can say it doesn't taste of anything... it tastes like fucking hell.

>>9044777
It tastes like burning.

>>9044852
Agreed. Even their flavored stuff still tastes like real vodka as opposed to Three Olives or some shit that tastes like fruit syrup.

>>9044777
Alcohol with a sweet light corny flavor, very bitter when swallowed, burns

>>9044777
Like bags of sand.

A good vodka will have a very very subtle sweet taste that goes away after a little bit once you swallow
A bad vodka will have a really strong sweet taste, or even bitter, savory, or chemical tastes
Vodka should be enjoyed as cold as possible and taste like a slightly firey water on the way down. Best mixed into a dry marini with a citrus twist to give it a little more sweetness to contrast the herbal vermouth

"For what are only petty crimes, his polecat-faced, sinewy, wily grandfather beats him until he is carried unconscious to bed, where he often lies for weeks, listening to the wind moaning in the chimney and the wolves howling in the distant fields. 'To such music,' he tells us, 'my soul matured.'"

Holy shit, I never bothered with those socialist-naturalist writers. I always focused on Gogol, Pushkin, Turgenev, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Lermontov, Bely and such, the pre-revolutionaries. But that's some powerful writing right there by Gorky.

>>9045048
It doesn't taste like shit like low quality cheap vodka, now if you are just making mixed drinks than drown that in juice.

Like fingernail polish remover, honestly.

like Polish remover

>>9045048
Yes. Even just the smell of cheap vodka makes me want to puke.
