break out the shot glasses and get ready
to pour number 10 hanger1 vodka United
States this is the tale of hangar 1
you'll learn about a vodka before we're
done in a man from a smaller German town
while the United States is more known
for their craft beers and wines hangar 1
stands out from the crowd
initially brewed out of st. George's
spirits in Alameda California the
brand's founder and distillers your
group and aunts Lee Cole decided to
tweak the method of making clear fruit
brandy known as odv and introduced
hanger1 vodka in 2002 this small batch
vodka is made using a combination of
American wheat and Vienna grapes giving
it a refreshing fruity flavor the
varieties don't stop at fruit though as
you can try many other experimental
flavors of hangar one such as Chipotle
and wasabi they're gonna find it hard to
only drink this amount number 9 Smirnoff
Russia fine call me when you learn how
to love someone
instead of kete at your brother's
college just because you had forced me
enough Isis and a bottle of Snow Peak
peach flavored boom move over America
here comes Russia the oldest vodka on
our list
Smirnoff begins its rich history in
Moscow thanks to distiller Peter
Smirnoff the brand has been passed down
through the Smirnoff family who
eventually sold it to businessmen
Rudolph qunit and the production of
Smirnoff began in the United States the
brand has consistently won awards and
continues to rank much higher than its
younger competitors over its many years
of existence
Smirnoff has experimented with a number
of flavors like green apple and espresso
to name just a few one tried real
Russian vodka try Smirnoff who made this
it's brilliant
number eight Absolut Vodka Sweden are
you calling me a liar bring another one
need a limitless variety of vodka at
your disposal look no further
initially established in 1879 Absolut
didn't hit its major stride out of its
native Sweden until its global release a
century later absolutely
various saw it's a brand new flavor from
Absolut in that you get flavors of
pomegranate acai berry of course a
little bit of white chocolate in there
as well Absolut has a lengthy list of
flavors and mixes from the traditional
blue label to hibiscus and even a
signature City series inspired by
locations around the world since hitting
the global markets Absolut has become
the most internationally well-known
spirit not just as vodka brand Absolut
proves that the Swedes can make vodka
just as well as Russians can if I had an
epic night it would have to be iconic
number seven Finlandia Finland
this is mr. Fiedler dia
and here's my personal friend it is time
to get back to basics originating in
Finland and available in the United
States and Scandinavia since 1970
Finlandia is quite possibly the best
unflavored vodka you'll ever slide down
your throat
the Altea corporation the Finnish
distillers behind Finlandia fight
themselves on their ability to offer
vodka in a pure form combining alcohol
with pure glacial water unlike our last
entry Finlandia limits itself to only a
handful of fruit flavors pushing its
original formula over the different
varieties hey global vodka market
Finland has arrived
number 6 Crystal Head vodka
Canada this is an accurate glass
rendering of a human skull venturing
back to North America the United States

great vodka by far the youngest vodka on
our list Crystal Head vodka is filtered
not once not twice but seven times even
filtering through Herkimer diamond
crystals these semi-precious crystals

associations to top it off the unique

co-founders we made this product for you

Poland Poland has been doing good vodka

for me there there's gonna be Chopin if
Poland knows plenty of anything it's how
to make vodka named after the Polish
composer Frederic Chopin this delicious
potato based vodka was introduced to
North America in 1997 Chopin is made in
particularly small batches and distilled
four times producing a clean tasting
finish Chopin vodka has won multiple
awards since its introduction
particularly in the 21st century and is
ranked among the best of its class
worldwide Poland we will see you again
soon polish vodka
best vodka in the world nos drawing
number for kettle one Netherlands well I
entered the company realized that nine
generations before me has spent their
whole life here two distillery in
SkyDome Holland for our next pick it's
time to jump over to the Netherlands
widely considered the most popular vodka
out of the Western European country if
you have been a fan of vodka for any
amount of time you would recognize
nollette distilleries unflavored
flagship vodka the master distiller
skillfully Crofts together the secret
recipe to create the distinctive unique
kettle one taste unlike our previous
potato based vodka kettle one is
distilled completely from wheat it is
then filtered through charcoal to
achieve the optimal filtration level
while the original and flavored vodka is
the most popular Ketel One also distills
flavors like kettle one Citrone and
Ketel One or Anya gentlemen this is
vodka number 3 Belvedere Paulette oh we
meet again Poland produce exclusively in
the Central European nation and
introduced to the u.s. in 1996 Belvedere
is considered the first super premium
vodka this is hard to argue as this
premium rye based vodka can be found on
the top shelf and bars around the world
while the unflavored is by far the most
popular Belvedere does market flavored
vodkas such as mango passion and pink
grapefruit
unfortunately Belvedere is no stranger
to controversy when it comes to
advertising at least but it has always
risen above it and returned to its spot
on the top shelf
[Music]
number two Grey Goose friends when many
drinkers think of premium vodka Grey
Goose is often the first brand that
comes to mind introduced to North
America in 1997 the French luxury vodka
immediately jumped to the top of the
American liquor industry due to its rich
flavor in 2004 Grey Goose was bought by
Bacardi which further expanded the
brand's global influence fans and
critics agree that Grey Goose is a
top-shelf choice as it is often ranked
as the best-selling and best tasting
vodka in any given year this wheat based
vodka proves that France doesn't just
make great wine but superb vodka as well
the extraordinary belongs to those who
make it fly beyond Grey Goose world's
best-tasting vodka before we consume our
topic here are a few honorable mentions
this is [ __ ] Skyy Vodka passion for
perfection syrup for everyone here's to
smooth
50 mils smoke Queen there's nothing
better out there if I found a better
about drinking
number one Stolichnaya Russia no
surprise here as it is common knowledge
that Russians make the best vodka
Stolichnaya often better known as Stoli
is a unique blend of wheat and rye
grains with delicious artisan water
bringing us the flagship original vodka
you could argue about when Stoli was
actually created as claims have its
early origins dating back to 1901 when
the Moscow State wine warehouse number
one was opened but the exact year isn't
as important as this vodkas taste and
reputation need a break from the
original we recommend trying out Stoli
hot or Stoli raspberry for a change of
pace regardless of which flavor you try
you will not be disappointed
stole each snare a Russian Walker do you
