COUNTRIES AND ALCOHOL

It depends on the drink.
I drink whiskey straight but I add mixer to Vodka.
Remember that vodka doesn't hit straight away, but when it does it hits hard.

Pictured, we even have a goddess of pulque, it non meme comes out of her tits

Yeah, that's a popular mixer, it will dampen but not remove the taste. Beware though, if you use a mixer you like too often it will be ruined for you. I can't drink certain soda because all I taste is vodka.

Poles did it.

Except vodka was invented roughly at 1100, maybe earlier; Germany and Russia didn't exist at the time, but Poland did.

Vodka was originally just spiritus vini, that's "wine spirits, and more like South American pisco as in it was literally made from grape.

It basically is alcohol as pure as you can get it, diluted with water, that's the reason it can be made out of anything, like say fucking potatoes. I'm not knocking it, I'm a big fan of vodka myself, but you can't narrow something that was just trying to get the best alcohol out of whatever you had at hand to a single culture/tradition. A good qualitty sugar cane aguardiente you shouln't be able to technically tell apart from vodka no matter how Slavic you are, the point to all the filtering in premium vodkas is to get rid of anything that isn't alcohol.

The only other time I've heard of that was its being referred to as some sort of disgusting shit for street trash

About getting rid of anything that isn't alcohol: kinda. This holds true for sugar cane vs. wheat, but for grape/pomace ones the source still makes a difference (some aromatics are distilled with alcohol).

Regarding origin: it sounds a bit weird to me to be honest - would people really waste good wine with that? Had they begun with pomace (graspa-like) or stale bread (like a "distilled kvas") I wouldn't be surprised.

A lot of heavier and lighter alcohols and esters can and will be distilled. The reason why vodkas are distilled and filtered several times is to cut the heads (compounds that boil at lower temps than ethanol like acetone and methanol) and tails (compounds boiling at higher temps like propanol, water, and some lighter carbohydrates and proteins). Compounds like ethyl ethanoate that boil within a few degrees of ethanol will generally survive a trip or two. They're not overly toxic, and can actually help out the flavour of unaged/white brandies and whiskies in trace amounts, if only as an identifier.

With enough of everything else removed, it all tastes like vodka/ethanol.

Get some Berliner Luft and down the entire Bottle in a circle.

Thats a lot of things packed into a single sentence with too little context. Resulting in no information being actually shared.

Vodka goes back to Eastern Europe, where the distillation process was first practiced to the effect of yielding the product. It wen on from there.

Many vodkas do have intended tastes, either by allowing rye impurities or like with żubrówka, adding herbs or other shti to it to spiritus is inane. If that was the case people would buy 98% spiritus and dilute with water at home.

It's cheap as fuck today and something of an acquired taste, but it was sacred for the Aztecs, this is where tequila and mezcal come from

>>69040668
Flavored vodkas are a different animal altogether tho I'll grant some quality vodkas do look to retain some quality from the original source.

Having said that there's a difference in between something like a quality artisanal gin and your average flavored vodka (eg Absolut) which tastes more like it had perfume added. Leaving aside the exceptional vodkas with character the purer the vodka the better it is.

>people would buy 98% spiritus and dilute with water at home.
You rarely see anything stronger than 80-100 proof in the international market for a good reason, it's far too easy to quickly drink more alcohol than you can actually process that way, I've seen people drink themselves into alcoholic intoxication on pretty tame stuff.
