Ketel One is about as good as it gets. It's the only vodka I drink anymore with the exception of Chopin. For me, I don't mind price as long as it's worth drinking.
Chopin has a nice roundness..and a subtle bite
Ketel has the perfect bite, with good roundness and excellent 'warmth'.
Usually, I drink mine straight, slightly and I mean ever so slightly chilled. Vodka isn't meant to be put on the rocks.
Belvedere is .. ok. It's over hyped and not worth the price tag. Grey Goose is the same. It's a plain vodka with a designer following that isn't deserved.
and will, anyone who likes absolut must certainly anger the spirits
gin is not vodka.
