Question by Breaking_b: What is the best Vodka with a sweet finish?
I’m looking for a good vodka with a sweet finish. One that is good straight or mixed. And nothing real peppery or that burns going down. Ston Vodka is one that is said to be smooth and have a sweet finish, I have tried it and it is pretty good. Does anyone know of any others?

I don’t particularly care for vodka. But, I have a few friends who will only drink Grey Goose (and only straight, not mixed with anything).

Ciroc Vodka – quintuple distilled from Cognac grapes. This is the quintessence of luxurious vodka, though it comes at a cheaper price than Grey Goose (which is grossly overrated). Check the link for the review of Ciroc, and the numerous positive comments.
Smirnoff is also one that is a classic, understated vodka that won't break the bank (a 750ml bottle will cost you less than $ 12). In a New York Times blind taste test of over 20 world class vodkas, it placed #1 (Grey Goose, on the other hand, wasn't even in the top half). I asked a bartender friend of mine, and he said that Smirnoff doesn't get the credibility that it deserves, probably due to its lower price (and therefore perceived lower quality). I was told that this is THE vodka that started the cocktail revolution in the USA, and is favored by vodka connoiseurs worldwide.

I particularly like Svedka. It doesn't cost much, the hangover potential is low, and it is undoubtedly the smoothest mid grade vodka out there.
Belevedere is also a close runner up to grey goose as another person suggested in an earlier post.
If your looking for a sweeter finnish, i recommend u try a flavored vodka. like stoli orange or one of those candy lookin flavors of UV vodka.

in blind tastings even grey goose drinkers say it's the swill. It's biggest advantage is good marketing among trendy club goers that don't know the difference. Absolut has a buttery finish and tito's is like water with a kick. a good vodka is colorless odorless and tasteless so sweet isn't a common finish.
