Alcohol Filtration with Water Filter System

Alright, that's what I thought but it never hurts to hope

If you are not looking to spend much on vodka you can filter Popov or Fleischman's four or five times and improve the taste greatly while significantly reducing hangover potential. You won't really be improving the flavor, so you may not be able to turn the cheap stuff in Grey Goose, but at least you'll get something cheap and drinkable. Works for gin too. When I get to the end of the useful life of a water filter I always do this - not advisable to put vodka through your Berkey before you are ready to replace it. TRUST ME!

I'll stick with my Jack in the Black as it comes out of its square bottle. Motlow and them put much effort back in postwar Tennessee to come up with this stuff as it is. I count myself fortunate to be able to mix up instant coffee without poisoning myself, so trying to fiddle with JD... pass.

Good experimental effort, though, and yes, Mythbusters did the filtration shtick with vodka, but they used fresh filters, IIRC, and up to ten passes (not ten passes through the same filter, though; a fresh filter each time) and had pros taste test in the blind. Don't remember the outcome; likely it's on their site.

All that work to make cheap palatable seems like a waste, unless your time is also worthless.
Just buy better stuff to begin with.

Throw some ice in it and let it slide..............I'm a Stoli's man myself. Always stuck with the "original" and used to get it on the way back from deployments duty free. About $4 a quart, that was a case per deployment for me. There were some benefits to being on a Navy ship.............SUPPLY AND DEMMAND! You wonder why we were stereo typed "like a drunken sailor"??????

Just do what the man on the platform says and just stick to drinking the Koolaide.

Why spend the money for a filter? Just put that money into buying better quality hooch.

BWRR, during the Bad Old Days, and even now, Ivan produced this brown vodka called Starka...

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH.....

designated as an export only item, but the big shots could still lay hands on it. Last I heard, it was going for about $100 per liter, and the better bars here in Vegas, last I heard, were doing shots at $20 per.

Had one shot once. I can't drink any more vodka for the rest of my stretch, 'cause that shot was the top.

The barkeep was smart, he filled up an Old-fashioned glass 2/3 full of ice, put the shotglass in the ice, poured the (cooled bottle) Starka directly into the chilled shot, and let it sit a few minutes, THEN served.
