I never buy by price... price says nothing of quality or taste. Often
the low priced booze is far better than the expensive stuff. Good
vodka has no flavor, that's why I buy Crystal Palace. Flavored vodkas
are the crap with flavor added to cover the miserable taste or no one
would buy them. It's really how mint flavored cigs are sold, why dump
the lousy tobacco crop when it can easily and inexpensively be sold as
Newport and Kools. I see several flavored vodkas in fancy bottles for
twice the price.
