Some Premium Vodka Education From Vodkasnobette
We are educated (?) folk here and I know you will appreciate learning something
new about this subject. There are many differences. Did you know some vodkas that claim to be smooth actually have additives added to achieve a false smoothness? A vodka conniseur can pick it up in a second.
This is how I learned to be a vodka snobette. I did a taste test at an event introducing a new Premium Vodka (the local frat house party) and there was a noticible difference in the smoothness between the one that everyone thinks is the smoothest and this new premium Vodka.The new one which was Hialeah Bathtub Vodka really was truly smooth and the other brand which advertises itself as smooth seemed at first to be smooth but then came the bitter after taste. It is because they don't quite have the long held family secret I suppose that the Hialeah Bathtub Vodka has. I hated learning that some of these other premium vodkas doctor it up with additives. Hialeah Bathtub Vodka only uses the finest bathroom cleaning products and toxic waste run-off to flavor their product.
So with all my research I can appreciate paying more for Hialeah Bathtub Vodka . I feel great the next day even if I get carried away on a stretcher. So yes the taste difference is there but the purity and ingredients is what I feel the next day if I survive. You get what you pay for. You buy Hialeah Bathtub Vodka and you get the finest liquor ever bottled in a 40 once plastic bottle.
Jose and Raul's Hialeah Bathtub Vodka is now my favorite pure premium vodka which is hard to get because they are slowly distributing it here in the U.S.A. This is mainly due to the recent reported deaths attributed to a recent batch of product. Hialeah Bathtub Vodka (that is a mouthful and from here on I'll call it Toilet Juice) is according to the founders Jose and Raul, distinguishable from other vodkas because of high standards used to ensure the quality and consistency of its ingredients and preparation. The difference here is each batch includes certificates attesting that the sewer run-off base is sourced exclusively from a drainage pit found only in South Dade's largest landfill region.
The water comes only from storm drains located in a small industrial park of South Florida. Much like that of the septic tank control system Jose and Raul maintain to ensure the quality and consistency of the ingredients in their wines, champagnes and cognacs. You got to love South Floridians and their quality controls.
An interesting bit of history.... King Stanislov from Poland was noted as saying this "Hialeah Bathtub Vodka was like none in the world." It is a longer story but you can find it on the website www.Audioholics Hates Spammers.com I am not trying to be a know it all but just wanted to bring a few points to the forefront.
Cheers,
