This is a very solid Vodka and it is a steal at $18 in my area. I bought this to fill out my bar along with Smirnoff and I have loved both of these. Finlandia is very smooth and can be sipped neat. However, I would chill the bottle first as the Vodka warm is rough to sip. This liquid mixes very well with everything I have thrown at it. Things like coke, OJ, and I have used it in making Vesper Martini's and it is great. Now I do have to state that it is Vodka and has no real taste of it's own and that has to be taken into consideration as well. I think this is a very good Vodka at a great price and I will try to keep this in my bar. Enjoy.
