I'm pretty much a non drinker, maybe 2/3 glasses of wine a year Blush. I would like to buy our friends a nice bottle of vodka are there any brands that I should look out for? Would go up to about £30. Thanks

Hotel chocolat do some lovely flavoured vodkas. The salted caramel one always goes down well. Otherwise belvedere is nice.

I currently have a lovely bottle brought back from Denmark by my husband. In a metal bottle. Called something like Dansk.... I'll go and look.

Danzka

No idea how much it was but it is very nice!

cece · 17/11/2017 07:39

Plus I am not keen on the flavoured ones....

I bought a bottle of salted caramel vodka for a friend from Booths recently, I think it was this one.

I don’t drink vodka but it was lovely! They were giving out samples of blood orange vodka in Booths last week, I had a sip, thought it tasted like petrol 😳.

I was given a bottle of Smirnoff on my birthday that was in a white bottle. It looks really cool and the vodka was very smooth.

Avoid the flavoured ones unless you know they drink them, as I love vodka but can't stand the artificially flavoured varieties.

Stolichnaya is a good one.
Zubrowka is supposed to be good, I've not tried it.
I like Russian Standard.
Absolut is ok.
Avoid Smirnoff or own brands if you want a "nice" gift.
Ciroc and Grey Goose tend to be more than £30.

Bison grass polish vodka (which is best served with apple juice) is the nicest vodka I've had

I would go with Ciroc or Grey Goose as a present.

Smirnoff is good but a bit more “regular”. We buy this for the house regularly however Ciroc or Grey Goose on special occasions.

@4forksake Bison Grass is good, my Dad loves it although very strong and seems to go straight to his head 😂

4forksake · 17/11/2017 07:58

Teabag, I didn't have too much if it. Sounds like it's just as well I didn't Grin

It’s a nice vodka and probably one that someone would never think of buying for themselves just to try.

This is very extra.. green shimmery vodka

Chase distillery make lovely vodka. The standard one is smashing, and they also do a delicious marmalade one. Might be a bit over £30 though.

Snow Queen is nice, too. I think it's quite new. Cool bottle. That's about £30 I think. (Not Snow Leopard; that's lovely but it's very pricey.)

I got this Rekya for my other half for his birthday and he said was lovely, it’s a limited batch.

Wow thanks everyone, will do a couple of searches - I had no idea there were so many different types Grin

Yes, bison grass is lovely. I like Russian Standard and Absolut as well.

Tuttytoffee · 17/11/2017 09:12

Chase marmalade vodka is delish. Love the bottle too. £36 on Amazon

Sarahh2014 · 17/11/2017 09:27

Belvedere is nice

MusicToMyEars800 · 17/11/2017 09:31

I would go with Grey Goose or Belvedere.

CarrotVan · 17/11/2017 09:43

There are some really lovely Scottish vodkas. Have a look at Whiskey Exchange for interesting booze
