piisfish 140 #12 May 1, 2012 Quote Perhaps it's because vodka tends to be fairly tasteless and without much character guess you never had any good vodka Oh and by the way, vodka IS water. It is "little water". As voda is water and the k before the end is a diminutive, therefore vodka is littla water.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #13 May 1, 2012 Quote Quote Perhaps it's because vodka tends to be fairly tasteless and without much character guess you never had any good vodka Are you sure? Then again you might want to look up the definition. By definition it is, "to be as tasteless and odorless as possible. http://www.scocia.com/newsite/Gin_and_Vodka.pdf.pdf It's in large part due to how it's made; multiple distillations to very high concentrations of nearly pure alcohol and then watered back down to bottling strength. It's also a big reason why it's so popular in bars, even the low quality stuff mixes and tastes the same with Red Bull or whatever fruity thing your pretty young thing happens to be into. Flavored vodka, on the other hand, is a different thing and all bets are off; red pepper, bacon, chocolate whatever. And as far as I'm concerned, yeah, whatever. Personally I like my drink to have a flavor, but not an artificial one, rather a flavor of location or history or preferably both. To pick up a flavor from the ingredients it's made from and then more from the wooden casks it's aged in. A good Scotch is a good example. You'll never get that with vodka which tastes essentially the same the day it come off the still as it does 20 years later. Again, the entire point being it's essentially flavorless.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abedy 0 #14 May 1, 2012 Quote Perhaps it's because vodka tends to be fairly tasteless and without much character and the entire point of gin is to give it a flavor? There are vodkas that are fairly tasteful: Polish Bison Grass Vodka for example. I was in Poland quite often and when I was around Bialystok I bought Bison Grass Blades. Contrary to what is said in the article above, the blades do have an effect on the spirit. I once even bought the worst spirit available in the GDR - "Kristall Wodka" (also called "Blue Strangler" due to its blue logo) - and "spiced it" with 3 blades for several weeks: The result was a slightly emberish spirit that wasn't too offensive to your palate. (Not really that I made gold from sh*t but... ) My son bought me a bottle of original Zubrovka for my birthday, even my wife likes it. Too bad you 'mericans can't taste it The sky is not the limit.

quade 4 #18 May 1, 2012 Quote...and also Gin is a dirivitive of Vodka... Yes, it's an "infused" (flavored) vodka. The entire point of which is to give it some sort of flavor and character.

airtwardo 7 #20 May 1, 2012 Are you sure? I may have had a bottle or two while in Moscow in the 80's. Then again you might want to look up the definition. By definition it is, "to be as tasteless and odorless as possible. Quote When I was in Russia, I hated when friends would open a bottle and toss the cap away, meant we were there to finish it no matter what..tough task at times, especially at breakfast! Tasteless & odorless...one of the main reasons the drunks that worked at a production facility I was a supervisor at would guzzle the stuff at lunch-time, when they took a cue from the stoners and began using 'clear-eyes' as well, got hard to tell sometimes who was wasted and who was just stupid. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
