yeah stoli is good. I'm not a vodka drinker but i think stoli is what vodka is supposed to taste like.

IIRC, it's just a touch more expensive than Captain Morgan...

I'm down either way, though I think I prefer Captain...

I dont really like the taste of captain right out the bottle. I'm more of a bacardi guy. 151 is good to for when you get married or released from prison. like when your really happy and getting shit faced is a reasonable way to disrespect yourself.

a handle of sailor jerry is $20, and it's 92 proof compared to captain. also, me and my bartender friend both agreed that it mixes much better with coke/dr pepper. side by side, i'd take sailor jerry. it's not exactly high end, but it's not bottom shelf either. i need to pick up some vodka tomorrow, and i'm kinda inexperienced when it comes to vodka. except i know that grey goose is overrated and overpriced. what are my next best options?

Just get something good. I like Stoli (Stolichnya). I've also tried and really liked Vikingfjord (which is an actual potato vodka and supposed to be more legit then grain, wheat or rye vodka).

yes, even out of the bottle I prefer sailor jerry to captain.

If mixing, kettle one is more than solid. If alone I like belvedere.

Agreed. Kraken is one of my favorite rums, and it's not super expensive.

I thought Sailor Jerry cost than it was worth. I think Bacardi Black is a good, cheap rum.

I'm not a big vodka fan. Too flavorless. Most of it is priced based on it's marketing scheme as opposed to quality of ingredients or manufacturing process.

I've been on tequila for a while now. Sadly, it's expensive. I try to stick to the $20-$30 bottles. They usually have a good variety and aren't based on marketing and hype (like Petron/Cabo Wabo)

Only liquor i actually have in my posession right now. Had it for a couple of years just never got around to actually enjoying it. I am trashy and mostly just drink jameson. Fav scotch is yamizaki with laproaig 2nd. If i dont have to pay for it i am overjoyed to mooch middleton off of people. Also if its burbon i usually like fighting cock, wild turkey or george dickel. Makers mark is overpriced bullshit so is bookers but eagle reserve is good.

For rum kraken def is great. If you want to spend a little more i really like the rogue rums and gosslings black seal is my favorite. Also vodka fucking sucks fuck vodka cant stand it. Vodka is for women, bums and hip hop retards. I dont ever drink vodka, but when i do i make it stolichnaya.

patron is not something I would buy. you can almost tell by the color that something is not what it should be. the anejo (aged) looks like a reposado (gold) and the reposado looks like watered down reposado. then you taste the reposado...way too smooth for what it should be. these companies want to make it palatable for the novice tequila drinker hiphop money bags. cabo does it right. its a great tasting reposado that tastes like tequila but its also very smooth and not biting or overly sour face. the patron anejo is another one that doesn't taste like the barrel or the spice or the age it should be. for a top shelf aged tequila, it should not be rushed or filtered or missing spice, bite, charred oak sugars, and complexity. sauza hornitos is using a diced pina mash instead of the traditional halfed pina roast but it still tastes great for a $20 - 30 bottle. 1800 has gone down hill IMO since it changed owners so many times in the past 10 years. I think bacardi owns 1800 now. if you actually want to taste the tequila full flavor and all, I recommend the hura dura reposado. its a horseshoe on the label in a square bottle. if you dont want to taste it or your mixing. get a blanco (clear) patron or sauza depending on your budget. mixed tequila drinks almost always have sugar so sauza is ok. blanco tequila is exactly the same as reposado but it is filtered for a watery taste and color. in a martini with $$$$$ try milagro limited edition reposado with 4 drops of cuantro orange liquor (like grand mariner) and orange peel zest.

Ketel One. Shit's all I drink. No pussy mixers, go tonic or soda. You will get mad pussy drinking vodka tonics.
