This was great video!! Enjoyed!!
Was Googling Finlandia Vodka vs Grey Goose Vodka just for the hell of it (looking to stock up on some booze as it's been years so I've been looking online to see what my local/provincial liquor store has) and your Finlandia Vodka Review popped up so I checked it out, then checked out your Grey Goose Vodka Review and then I clicked on this video :) Your reviews are awesome and I love how you guys are just being yourselves. This is the place to go for Fun, Honest and Quality Booze Reviews :) I'm glad I found this channel! I only wish I found it sooner! I've had Finlandia Vodka ever since I can remember (Parents would let me have a sip or two of booze once in a while as a kid. That's how I tried different types of wine at Christmas time over the years and learned that I don't like any of them XD even now that I'm all grown up XP) and I do like it better than Grey Goose which I've only tried once. Plus my background is Finnish so I think that's also a factor to why I do enjoy it. I'm still open to trying new brands though, it would just take a very long time as most of my booze bottles generally last me several years XD I do recommend Finlandia Vodka though. In this video I really liked how you guys included peoples budgets and addressed the best cheap brand and the best more expensive brand in each category. Keep up the awesome video's guys! :D

We are trying to mix it up a little bit. We got some more new stuff coming soon.
A great starter alcohol that's starting to get a bit of traction and wider distribution is Mellow Corn. Heaven Hill product (which some Kentucky boys should appreciate,) bottled in bond (100%, aged at least 4 years etc etc) and only about $12 or so a bottle. Super sweet, not very complex flavor wise, quite low burn for the ABV. It is quite drinkable straight, but I personally find that it does really well with a couple drops to a teaspoon of Dr Pepper to a 2oz pour, about how you'd add water to some high end scotch whiskys. And there's something great about the super cheesy label that looks more like no-one ever bothered to update it, rather than something throwback. Feels like something that would fit on a shelf besides bowling trophies and pull-tab beer cans on a wood-paneled wall.

we reviewed mellow corn not a huge fan honestly.
Good video guys. Keep em comin
For a discount vodka, I picked up some Fris vodka which cost $8 for a plastic 5th, but was on sale for $5 here in Pennsylvania. Really neutral and clean taste, exceeded expectations.
Evan use to be my go-to, the bottled in bond version is good, too. I definitely agree on the coke mixer. The price for Evan started to go up, so previously I switched to Heaven Hill or Old Crow. I haven't had Liquor in at least 6 months. I might pick some up soon. Benchmark is good, too. Cheers, guys, great video as always.

I feel that. I have a bar that will only fit about six bottles now, so I'm a little more choosy about what I pick up.
I got Bacardi Spiced for my first drink good stuff. It was $18 instead of $15 due to crazy inflation I think
Check out camerena silver its super smooth and it costs around $16 for a fifth. Honestly think its a great starter tequila. I prefer it over almost all midshelf tequila. (And its 100% agave)

I'm from Finland and Finlandia vodka is not cheap in Finland because all alcohol is expensive as hell in here and we have cheaper Finnish brands than Finlandia vodka.

so everyone's pallets different but I felt that tequila was the one that I had to spend the most amount of dollars to get a quality one and that's even for like mixed drinks like margaritas vodka and Jen I was fine making mixed drinks with bottom shelf stuff Bourbons bourbons and whiskey I didn't go by Michelle but it wasn't the middle it was like the second best and then tequila if I ever drink tequila it was definitely a lot more spendy
can you do a best flavored liquor video?
