Okay, so I’ve taken to trying different vodkas, trying to find the absolute best. For the longest time my favorite for drinking straight was Chopin, and my favorite for mixing was Armadale. Well, I now have a new favorite… for both! Hangar One vodka is perfect in every way. First off, it’s made by hand… the only vodka I know of that is made like that. Second, it’s so smooth that you can actually drink it at room temp (it tastes better cold, of course). I’ve never tasted vodka like this before. When mixed in a drink, you can’t taste it at all… no fuel taste… nothing.
It’s amazing, and if you ever have a chance, try this… you won’t be disappointed.
