VODKA MONOPOLOWA has won numerous awards for its taste and quality and been consistently rated �Exceptional�, �Best Spirit�, �Best Buy� and �Best Value�. In the last decade, in head-to-head competitions against some of the world�s most recognized vodkas, VODKA MONOPOLOWA has repeatedly won Gold Medals and has been recognized as a �World Champion Vodka�. A prominent U.S. trade journal reported that VODKA MONOPOLOWA is �easily identifiable in blind tastings ... Produced from 100 percent potato spirit, it is one of the most flavourful and interesting vodkas.� VODKA MONOPOLOWA�S rich texture and smoothness are further enhanced when served chilled with a twist of lemon or ice cold straight from the freezer. Due to its neutral character, VODKA MONOPOLOWA is also well suited for mixed drinks. dammit man, i just picked up a bottle of Ketel and you post this?

It's not quite as bad as gin,...but it's right there beside it. If ya want some good corn liquor, get some straight out of the tap. Stickin' it in an old burnt up oak barrel and forgetting about it for 8 years just plumb ruins it! |

Wrong. Bourbon does not have to come from Kentucky. Champagne only comes from France and Bourbon only comes from Kentucky. Otherwise, it's sparkling wine or whiskey. |

By all accounts, it went over big with those Canadian guys who had been drinking the blended stuff. |
