I left Finlandia out of my list of comparable, mid-priced brands, but
it belonged there. I never drink any vodka neat, nor do I take cold
shots. Mixed, this Boru stuff was as clean as Finlandia. Sheldon
maintains that really cheap vodka is just as good as the mid-priced
brands when mixed, but I disagree. The mid-priced brands really are
pretty interchangeable in cocktails because they really are neutral.
$9 was a real bargain for a *fifth* of decent vodka.
