Default my Vodka collection

This is may be a bit random but felt people should see it. It all started in summer 2007 we were at our holiday home on the Isle of Tiree and visited a family friend who has an impessive purpose built display cabinet full of whisky in his house all unopened after seeing that i started collecting empty vodka bottles on a shelf in my garage, well some people collecting stamps and this is more fun.

I've never seen the point in having a collection of alcohol to look at Thats a bit like having a car and only taking it to shows and putting mirrors underneath it instead of driving it

We went to the same shops when we were back there in 2008 but couldnt find one, after a year of goin on about it since the last holiday and keeping talking about how we was 'gonna get another device' lol..

PMSL It wasnt actually any cheaper on poland to buy than buying 3 normal bottles but it was worth carrying it whole way home to enjoy drinking it

I bought that polish vodka off a polish bloke I used to work with, think I give him £15 for it. 1 glass with coke or lemonade is enough to send you quite merry!!!

Glens is absoloute bilge, as is Smirnof Red. Blue is good to get smashed off, where as blue is actually not a bad vodka. The best vodka available from your average english supermarket is Wyborowa, although if it's the one bottled in England it is nowhere near as good. In that case, go for Finladia - it punches well above it's weight. The best in the world is probably Chopin quadriple distilled potato vodka, it is unbeleivably smooth. If a slight imperfection is detected during taste testing, the whole batch is destroyed.
