It’s been a long time since I’ve had Absolut. So I recently tried it again in an impromptu head-to-head against Stolichnaya (one of the “old” bottles that still claim it to be a product of Russia, not Latvia). And as it should be for a serious tasting, I sipped small quantities at a little less than room temperature. Frankly, I liked it. It’s not an entirely “transparent” vodka, but I never understood the idea of vodkas being taste-free ethanol and water anyway. Absolut has a bit more burn than Stolichnaya and a slightly more bitter aftertaste, but both effects are quite short-lived (I’ve had my share of Eastern European moonshine spirits, so I know what a *real* burn is like…). Absolut’s got its own character that I would describe as slightly “sparkling”, and that includes both sweet and bitter notes. In fact, I found Stolichnaya to be fairly dull in this comparison, but that’s probably what makes it a better choice for a well-chilled Vodka Martini.

As far as vodkas go, this one isn't all bad. I don't like to drink liquor straight, I prefer it in mixed drinks and this one is a suitable choice for mixed drinks. It has pretty boring packaging, it would be nice if they made it more appealing to the eye. I would but this again if I needed an inexpensive vodka.

Great brand good price especially when you're buying it in Reno Nevada LOL it got great deals on alcohol and it's just an all-around good brand and taste and product definitely in my opinion a go to on a budget I even went on a budget won't go to the low and pop off vodka flavors no offense just not my cup of tea this is always one that I can count on

I'm not a big drinker, but I like a mixed drink at get-to-gethers. Absolutions Vodka seems to make a good liquor for mixed drinks. The bottle is classy looking. I think it's fairly affordable. I don't buy much, and I'm not familiar with some of the brands. I would buy it again as it has served me well.

This vodka does the job! I am not a huge fan of vodka but I don't mind this or skyy vodka. This product didn't really exceed my expectations but it is vodka haha. I like the flavored vodkas or no vodka but I would keep this in my liquor cabinet for someone to drink when they come over!

Always go with absolute! I’ve loved every flavor I’ve tried so far! Very smooth. I have tried other brands and I always go back to the absolute, it it fairly priced and is a great value. There are so many choices of flavors as well. I would recommend this to others.

For every party, event , or not every day relaxing moments, Absolut vodka is my perfect choice. With a crisp, clean, and authentic taste , perfectly made with Sweden winter wheat, you definitely taste the quality of this from the 1st zip. Great for cocktails or in it plain form definitely worth the cost. Love the design of the bottle used for this with the silvery touch for the lid. My 1st choice for gifting or party supplies.

Completely smooth and great in any drink. I bartend and use it in a lot of the drinks I make. Great but not overwhelming flavor and the price is perfect. Its like getting top shelf for middle shelf price, I generally recommend this to any vodka lover.

The taste is so crisp. You dont really need to chase it with anything. It is so smooth and the flavor is wonderful. There is nothing to improve with this product. I think that the price is perfect for the item. Coming for someone who use to bartend for 8 years, I would recommend this to anybody who wants a nice tasty vodka.

I have tried many different vodkas, even recently when my local liquor store was out of Absolut I purchased a much more expensive brand rather than driving across town which I regretted doing with as soon as I had the first cocktail I made with it. Absolute is much smoother and has a much cleaner finish than any other vodka I’ve had.
