A definite must-have in my liquor cabinet as it is an easily recognized party-mixer. While true vodka connoisseurs may not favor this one for either a mixer or a shooter, it is found at most bars and has never given me a hangover.

Hi,

Is this review about the simplest kind? I can see this is a rather good review, so I want to know if this is the regular (red?) version or the gold-crystal. If this is the regular one, isn’t the gold-crystal better?

Thanks.

Excellent vodka.

I am from India, Last time while i was in US I was ga ga about Grey Goose vodka. Grey goose is very hard to find in India and it needs some recommendation or Vitamin M to get Grey goose. I had Grey goose for about 40$ and enjoyed to the last drop of it.

Today I am in UK exactly after 5 years of my last visit in US. I took Grey Goose from the Wait-rose market, then thought why not try different brand, took Absolute I recalled my past experience and it was hell. Then took the Stoli– I am half bottle done while i type this message. I must admit this is real fun and bang for the buck. I really miss my family and kids, siblings and parents I love them a lot. God bless the world and entire human race. This drink is the best I have ever had and not to forget having the drink all alone. it is 12:43 now IST and 7:13 PM GMT .. god bless who invented alcohol

The best value of the six vodkas I tasted this evening. Smooth, balanced and sweet. In terms of value it beat all the others. Well-done!

Its a fake Stolichnaya produced in Latvia. Check out the back label

Stoli was the fourth vodka in my quest to educate myself about the world of vodka. To this point, I had a new favorite in Tito’s, followed by Ketel One, and finally Grey Goose (as compared in a martini straight up with olives). This time, my wife and I shared two martinis while out to dinner: one with Ketel One and one with Stoli. My impression of Ketel One remained the same as in my previous tasting; smooth, minimally bitter, neutral, and a little oily. By comparison, the Stoli martini had significantly more flavor (a nice bittersweet), was crisper, but was a little less smooth and burned more on swallowing. My wife liked both, and I think actually preferred the martini made with Stoli, but I still preferred the smoother and gentler character of Ketel One.

I think that Stoli is similar to Grey Goose, but has a stronger flavor that has a little better bittersweet balance. So, to this point in my taste testing experience, I would rank the vodkas that I had tasted starting with my favorite as follows:

1) Tito’s Handmade 2) Ketel One 3) Stolichnaya 4) Grey Goose

Next, on to Crystal Head.

After trying a bunch of cheap and some expensive vodka I have to say that Stolichnaya stole my heart, Its great with mixed drinks, the shots burn a little but you get used to it. Its sort of cheap and you can make killer drinks with it. I would definitely recommend this vodka to people who have never tried vodka before or who are just looking to have a good night. It doesn´t give you a hangover and it gives you enough “battery” to dance the night away.

I do not like Stoli as a vodka. I think no matter the type – flavored or unflavored – it just isn’t that good. They constantly have promotional parties in vegas w free drinks all night of this stuff – and even then – it’s hard to swallow. It just leaves a bad biting taste in the mouth, and is definitely detectable in drinks. Plus it doesn’t give that good of a buzz. It’s just a hype due to the russian name! pick something else =)
