I just bought this vodka for helluvit. I did check the label and noticed right away that it came from the same place my beloved bourbon does. The bottle was $8.99 so I figured if it was bad, no biggie, it was dirt cheap. I cracked the cap, took a whiff and a little swig. Wow, was I surprised! It was smooth, yet tasty. I went to the internet to find out what others thought because I couldn’t believe I got a great tasting vodka for $9….and here I am. I have never bought into the Grey Goose bs….who wants a vodka that’s French for 3-4 times the price anyway? Liquor, no matter its form, is transcending traditions and borders. Platinum is a great vodka and for the price, you can’t beat it. Don’t pay attention to the marketing efforts of Grey Goose or anything else for that matter, see for yourself. You will surely save some money if nothing else!

I drink Ketel One when I’m out at bars, but I have Platinum 7x at home (because they don’t usually have it in the bars out here). It’s a great vodka for a great price. But I pay $24 for a 1.75 liter bottle here in WA state because of our ludicrous liquor tax. :)

[...] an extra 10,000+ calories in liquid form. Trust me, its not hard to do. If you buy a 1.75L of Platinum 7x Vodka and enough 120 calorie per serving Simply Orange orange juice to mix with it and polish both off [...]

Thanks for the review. I am gluten sensitive and have been trying to find a vodka that I could buy at a great price. Being one of those chosen few that saw there jobs end after 20 plus years. And being in purchasing I always look for the best bang for the buck. Keep up the great work you are doing and best of luck to you. Pat

I tend to stick with McCormick for mixing and only Absolut or Skyy flavored variants to drink straight or mixing.

I have found that people who brag about grey goose or even absolut for that matter against cheaper and yet way better tasting vodkas like Smirnoff or platinum or even svedka tend to be beer or bourban/coke drinkers anyway with no stomach for strong drink. as a vodka drinker, i can handle it, easily, straight, and make it a point to taste test all i get my hands on. just for comparison. platinum is way better than absolut! absolut has a nasty aftertaste!
