I wouldn't worry about gluten distilling over in any brand of any style of spirits. Except for maybe Taaka, I don't trust them for shite.

My daughters FIL is from just north of Vladivostok Russia, when he comes over he brings some Beluga Vodka. It’s good stuff. Warning!!! Never do shots of vodka with a Russian. It’s a short night matching them shot for shot.

I buy that now because it's the only one of the big TX three that I can consistently get here. I can SOMETIMES find Deep Eddy, but it's almost always the flavored varieties. I like the clear and it's much harder to find up here than Tito's.

When I was living in Texas, though, my favorite was Dripping Springs.

Don’t drink vodka, but Three Olives is a good one.

High end vodkas are only perceived to be better because they're priced higher. They are built backwards from the marketing campaign. There are really only two grades: Vodka and shite Vodka. Dobra and Taaka are still garbage, but Stoli is triple distilled and has as few impurities as anything out there like Grey Goose or Belvedere or Ketel One, but for way cheaper.

Mid grade on up is all the same shite.

I usually have Stoli on hand but every now and again, but I’ll pick up a couple bottles of JT Meleck when I see it.

I drink vodka on the rocks

Tito’s is my go to

Belvedere is phenomenal as is Chopin. Not a fan of Grey Goose.

I can’t say I’ve had much experience with Russian Standard or other high end vodkas.

But I can definitely taste the difference between “high” and “mid”. It isn’t so much the taste as it is the smoothness. High end vodka over ice is like slick water with a burn and that’s it.

I drink vodka infrequently. But I use Grey Goose of Ketel One.

I order screwdrivers on early morning flights so that the flight attendants don’t “think less of me”, ha. Its always Tito’s or Finlandia. Both go down fine. No complaints.

I took the tour at the Tito’s factory. It was really fun, they even let you make your own Tito’s by running taaka through a charcoal filter

I was treated very nicely at the Tito's tailgate for the LSU vs UT game in Austin. I don't drink much vodka but when I do it will be Tito's. I keep a bottle in my liquor cabinet. It reminds me of the awesome game.
