I personally tasted over five different recipes of very similar-tasting vodkas before I decided that I couldn't really tell the difference between them. So I told the professional vodka makers to go with the one that's the easiest to make. What we ended up with was a vodka that tastes almost like a good tasting vodka! Almost all of my good friends have separately said to me, "I've had worse". Well, if it's almost good enough for them... It's good for me! — FAT MIKE
