I bought a bottle of 'Soviet Vodka' today

[Iskalla]

Crazy, I can't find any information about it online and the back label has no ingredients listed, it was £10 for 100cl though so I just bought it. Theres a hammer and sickle on there and stuff :cool: Has anybody in the UK ever seen this stuff before? It's alright.

yeah im sorry to spoil it, but the Soviet Union has collapsed

The vodka has novelty value in spite of this.

Russian vodka sucks; even Russians will tell you this. We all get our shit from Poland, and the best stuff from Poland is made from potatoes (not wheat) and flavored with bluegrass.

It's probably just Hammer & Sickle (http://www.hsvodka.com/).

I met a Russian international student who usually drinks Russian Standard.

lol, good ol' Standart; but it's still the Jose Cuervo of Vodka in Russia.

Russian Standard is pretty nice to drink neat, and Vladivar and Blavod with mixers. Russian Standard is probably my favourite out of them all. I wanted to get a bottle of Balkan vodka but it's obscenely expensive for what it is. And this stuff definitely ain't Hammer and Sickle, although I'd like to try that now haha. Considering how little I paid for it though it actually ain't that bad.

I've never drank Zubrowka, but if I finish off this bottle of weird, cheap and unknown soviet vodka by next weekend I might get some, it's the only Polish vodka I know of.

The russian vodka you can get over here are far more better then avergae swedish ore finnish. The polish bluegrass is nice, but ive heard thta the belarussian is the best, is that true?

That's the stuff we get at our restaraunt, not sure how popular it is. We have some little bar mat things that we put on the bar that have big hammer & sickles on em. I told my boss if they ever wanna get rid of em I'll take em lol.

Volk isn't bad, or so I hear...I hate vodka, personally. Bourbon ftw. :thumbup1:

Damn capitalists and their bottles of fermented liquids.

[Kuppo Shakur]

Hey, it's true though.
Hasn't anyone ever watched Frasier?

No, because anyone who watches that show has to be Bourgeois. :D

To be honest, the show is mainly about making fun of posh assholes.

Everyone knows Russian vodka sucks, but it is cheap as fuck.

Stolichnaya is what I drink. Polish Vodka (or Wodka) is great too, have you tried this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BBo%C5%82%C4%85dkowa_gorzka)?

My principles were swayed by Soviet kitsch, I'll pay to much for a bottle of distilled grain in the first place, but put a red star on it... :(

Drink It!

YES!!!! that shit is so excellent, it burns nicely without leaving a mean rubbing-alcohol aftertaste, I love it! I mean, it can be vomit inducing if drunk too fast, but it's not a vodka meant for knocking back--that's what Zubrowka is for.

I love Polish vodkas period, there isn't much better than a nice potato vodka with herbs. Zubrowka or whatever it's called is really smooth and gets you polished really fast.

Some people prefer Zubrovka from Belarus, and I hear nothing but good things about Sineokaya; I haven't tried it yet since I'm below drinking age and rely on my dad to buy all this, but I'll ask him to pick me up a bottle to try. for now, Polish vodka is what I have in my cabinet.

The Hammer + Sickle logo. A nostalgic symbol of Russian history, created in 1922. The original logo included a star.

A crossed hammer and sickle represented unity between industrial and agricultural classes.

Today the emblem evokes the nationalistic spirit of Russia and reflects the performance of modern Russian influence.

for some reason, i think the whole meaning behind the Serp' Y Molot was lost.
