If you don’t see your favorite vodka on here, don’t worry. I plan on doing several more of these vodka lineups this year. Just comment with what you’d like to see, and if they get enough requests, I’ll try and include them. Now onto the vodka showdown!

Please know that all of these were well made and didn’t really show and notable flaws. The Tower vodka was a big surprise for me, it was enjoyable, flavorful, and a great value, but definitely not as “clean” throughout as some others.
As always, I want to thank all of my viewers and send a special thank you to my Patreon supporters who’ve helped me keep my independence and allowed me to continue creating these unbiased and honest reviews. So, if you enjoy this content and would like to help keep it afloat, please join us at www.patreon.com/LiquorHound. There you’ll get “Patron Only” bonus reviews, a 2-week head start on hunting all the bottles I review – before they launch on YouTube. You’ll also get add-free videos, be able to message me directly with questions, a private review library (which hasn’t been on YouTube), get some secret tips, and can be eligible for my giveaways.
As of January 2023, my current bottle count is over 2,600. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been accredited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I've been actively collecting for more than two decades and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into this collection and career. Speaking of my career, my “Saints Alley" Bourbons & Rye whiskeys are on Total Wine shelves and customers are really enjoying them (be sure to ask for a sample when you're in the stores)! Currently, our two new Special Editions are also available for a limited time! One is our "Nobleman" Rye Whiskey aged in Tokaji (pronounced Tok-eye) casks - Tokaji is a Hungarian fortified wine (similar to the French Sauternes) that’s barrel aged. The other is a twist on our "Herald" Bourbon. Instead of just finishing the bourbon in Armagnac casks, we've also used some that rested in French Pineau des Charentes casks – “Pineau” is unfiltered grape juice (sometimes lightly fermented) that’s fortified with Cognac and barrel aged. Trust me, both are delicious, and given my knowledge and high standards, you know I’m working hard with my team to continue releasing whiskeys that we're proud of! Thanks for watching and please remember to drink responsibly. Cheers!
