I went into the the Liquor Store with plans to buy a bottle of Absolut Elit, but it was sold out. Looking over the selection, I decided to try a bottle of Sid's, made in British Columbia. It is pot distilled, which is supposed to provide more flavor. It is made of winter wheat and barley malt. I tried this neat, on the rocks, with a few olives, and was very impressed with the taste and flavor. Very smooth, with a quality that belies it's it's $30 Ontario price. For a vodka this good, at this price, is a wonderful find.
