cheap ,does the job for ptsd!!!!

I think it’s funny how so many people say that the Military Special taste bad. I’m not going to say that it’s as good as top self but it’s a good alternative. I have people over to my house quite often and I think it’s funny when people talk bad about cheap liquors. See the thing is…I have a secret…they only drink Military Special at my house. About a year ago I decided that I wanted to pay off my house, so I started trying to find ways to cut corners. I started buying Military Special (Vodka, White Tequila, Spiced Rum and Whiskey) and refilling the higher end bottles. I use Sky Vodka (the label holds up for a long time), Jose Cuervo Silver, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Jim Beam bottles. So far nobody has commented about the taste and it’s been over a year. I’ve heard people make comments that they can’t drink the cheap stuff because they can tell the difference in the taste or they will have a wicked hangover in the morning. Most of the ethanol used for vodka are made from bulk distillers like Archer Daniels Midland (Decatur, Illinois) or Midwest Grain Processors (Muscatine, Iowa) and sold to vodka entrepreneurs who refine by add spring water or flavors and a fancy bottle. This is like so many other brands in America but as long as we have people shoveling out money to believe that it makes them a classier person it will continue to make other people rich. I for one have now paid off my house but will continue to save my money and buy Military Special. :-)

Weak in the mouth. Wicked burn in the throat. Doesn’t settle well. Weird stuff.

If you need a shot of something to get to sleep at night, this’ll do yah. And it’s cheap. Just don’t destroy your mixers with it. For all its strong smell and burn it actually feels weak, and takes a little more than most to get a buzz. But it doesn’t leave any bad aftertaste in the morning like a lot of the expensive ones do. Recommend eating a little something with it though, either during or before. Again, it doesn’t settle well on its own.

Recently rediscovered Military Special Vodka at a local Air Nat’l Air Guard base I hadn’t visited in 20+ years. Of course I paid a lower price than at my usual Liquor store. Very surprized at the quality, smoothness and taste of this Vodka compared to the usual brands I buy (Nickoai, Barton’s) Tried a shot of MSV at room temp and was very pleased with the tripled distilled product. Will go back for more . . .
I’m a long time Vodka drinker with a fresh squeeze of lime, and a local brand of Tonic Water.
This is something I could drink on the rocks . . .

So I buy military special every weekend. Is it cheap? Yes! Does it get you drunk? Yes! See those are the two questions I have when I buy liquor. By the third drink I dont care anymore and/or am too drunk to care about the taste. I mix the drinks anyways so its all good. The only reason I didnt give this a 5 is because grey goose does actually have a better taste. Other than that, Ill continue to buy this and be embarrased when I walk up to the check out register knowing that everyone thinks Im a cheap ass. Oh well, Ill be getting drunk that night and for cheaper too I bet.

I paid $12.50 for a 1.75 L bottle. Is it the best vodka? Hell no. Does it do the trick? Hell Yes. I even drink it straight on ice. It is not as bad as others say. I normally drink Chopin, Titos, or G Goose. But for the price, I’m sold.

If you say you can tell the difference in vodkas when mixed, you are a flat out liar!

Several weeks back I purchased several of the 1.75 liter bottles of the Military Special Vodka at the Wright-Patterson AFB Class Six store. I opened a bottle today and I immediately detected an overpowering and strange odor. The vodka tasted as bad as it smelled. I contacted the Class Six store to see if there had been any other complaints or a recall of this batch and there were none. I then tried to send an e-mail to Atlantic Distillers, Baltimore, Maryland to find out if anyone else complained, but could not locate an e-mail address for the company on-line. I have used this brand for years so I am familiar with it and am now very concerned this bottle is not safe for consumption. I capped this bottle and opened another one which tasted like the normal Military Special Vodka.

it doesn’t even mix well into jello shots. if you are there just picked up a decent bottle. a fifth is no more than 15 bucks.

BOUGHT 4 1.75 L BOTTLES ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. 1ST. 3 BOT. OK 4TH BOTTLE BAD. CAN’T USE. TASTE LIKE THERE IS A CHEMICAL IN IT & ITS GOT A STRANGE SMELL. PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE I GO TO THE HEALTH DEPT. I DO NOT WANT PEOPLE GETTING SICK BECAUSE I DROPPED THE BALL.

Military Special makes a range of bottom-shelf liquors that are sold at the PX on US military bases. The PX is basically a tax free general store for military personnel and their families, and prices on American-made liquor, beer, and cigarettes are outrageously low. Military Special is the cheapest of the lot, and is specially produced for these stores. Apparently the DOD sympathizes with alcoholics and nicotine addicts in its ranks.

Military Special rum and bourbon are tolerable. The gin and vodka are fairly ghastly, but no worse than other bottom shelf liquors. Personally, I just love the fact that taxpayer money is somehow involved in their production. Go America!
