In general, it's not bad at all. Sometimes you might get a bad distilling batch, but it's very rare. If you tried it once, got it bad and never tried it again - I suggest you DO try it again. It's awesome.

BTW price does not matter. Grey Goose has very fancy packaging. I am pretty sure that's where half the price of the bottle goes. Stoli prefers to keep it classic, thus saving money on packaging and pushing their long-earner brand.

In a liquor store, I can find 10 different brands of vodka in a range of $20-25 CAD with the quality range far different from the price.
