Well folks let’s close out the year in the traditional style – by which we mean another on the list of cheap vodkas that are cheap for a reason. The reason being that they suck. This generic entry is Copper Plate vodka which makes you think there might be some electrolyzing or other shit going on to make it perfect – they themselves assure you that it is flawless. Well we here at Honest Booze Reviews are here to tell you the truth, and we’re not even gonna hide it behind the fold – this vodka sucks shit.

Barbican 1540 Vodka 750mL

A barbican is basically a tower/fort situated on a gateway over say a bridge or wall entrance. Particularly this one is referring to the Warsaw Barbican. Now if you are wondering why we are starting this review talking about some structure and what it has to do with vodka – it’s a good question. Because we don’t know either *makes side glance at brand*

Gaison Vodka 750mL

Another day, another French vodka. This time the outing is a bit all over the place scoring wise due to the fact that we once again can prove that simply distilling something multiple times has almost no bearing on quality. Things can be distilled twice, 3 times, or 6 or more like this – but as our resident chemist has said ‘distillation columns are not all the same’ and because of that the result is just as much a crapshoot as what you put in, and how you filter it out.

St. Petersburg Alimov Vodka 750mL

We’ve been playing this game with vodka. It’s called – let’s buy stuff for under 20 bucks and then hate ourselves the following morning all in the hopes that there’s another mark on the list we can give you the readers to avoid. However Alimov is not going onto that list, we are HBR and we speak for the Santa because this is going on the nice list. Of course as always we have our comments, and nobody is perfect, but strap in because it’s been a long time since something that cost $13 bucks didn’t extract a blood price in return.

Summum Vodka 750mL

New Drinking Game: Have a shot of this every time we say wheat in this review. Spoiler you will be smashed by the end, because fuck is the French wheat on full throated display here. We’ve had a mixed bag when it comes to French vodka’s in the past. Mostly it’s been hate for Bourge Noble, Belvedere, and Exclusiv, but some praise for Balinoff even if they stupidly have a polar bear on it.

Beluga Transatlantic Racing Export Noble Russian Vodka 750mL

The best days of doing these reviews on this site is when you find something that you’d normally never try, and are rewarded for the experience. While that may be colored by having so many bad spirits show up – it goes to the ethos of the site that it’s far worse to be stuck in the rut of what you know, instead of what could be. We honestly might have been stuck forever drinking Ketel One had we not started this reviewing process. In short we have to give props to a yacht racing vodka (no wait don’t go we’re not exactly cool how upper white middle class it is either)

Dynasty Spirits Tower Vodka 750mL

May 31, 2021May 30, 2021 BuffaloJern 2 Comments

Now as part of our review process we include the website. This is mostly so that if you want to hear more, or see other things said spirit company makes you can easily do so. Typically finding this is well – easy. Occasionally it’s on the bottle, but often a quick good search will work despite sites to buy stuff cluttering it up. In trying to find this though what we found was Dynasty Spirits and most often them being in a few legal jumbo around copycats – which given us thinking this was a knockoff Tito’s pretty much nailed the screw to the board. Given that fact was not a great start considering we at best consider Tito’s to be – average.

Bourge Noble Vodka 750mL

We now come to a vodka that tries so hard to seem fancy and yet is a fucken nightmare. This reeks of something made by the French, meant to seem like it’s location and pedigree make it worth so much more, and yet absolutely not. Let us be the first to lay it out plain, this is a sort of shit vodka, at a not good price, that is ultimately skippable.

Eristoff Premium Vodka 1L

This looks like just another random vodka, akin to a Smirnoff, like a knockoff. Although one does have to ask oneself – if Smirnoff is so bad – what would an (alleged) knockoff be like? In short slightly better and cheaper – wait.

Monkey Head Vodka 750mL

It’s odd for this review to exist, because ultimately it doesn’t matter too much how the vodka inside this tastes. You wanted some monkey shot glasses and figure, well some vodka to go with it is just fine too. We could say that it’s a bit pricy for a gimmick, and that unfortunately the vodka is pretty poor – but really that doesn’t matter, it’s not going to stop people from giving them money – ahh well.
