Luksusowa is definitely a great vodka.

Seriously, Tanqueray tends to be the liquor of choice these days. Though amaretto is always good, too. And Sailor Jerry spiced rum. And Pinnacle Whipped vodka.
Of late, my drink of choice is Noah's Mill Bourbon. Real good, real strong and highly acclaimed at the SF Spirits Awards.
Try the Rowan's Creek- same people, similar palate, also tasty. A little thinner tasting, maybe, but tasty.
"Vintage Bourbon" by the same people is tasty, but not worth the significantly higher price. Willet Pot Still, also by them, isn't all that good, despite the fancy bottle. Pure Kentucky, despite the terrible packaging, was pretty good.

I will try it. I have been to the website and perused their other brands...they all seem interesting. It would be nice to find it first to taste at a bar before I purchase a bottle.... I was a restaurant/bar about a year ago, and asked the bartender for a recommendation and that is how I first found the Noah's Mill.
Rowan and Pure Kentucky are both in the $30 range. Willet is too, I think.
For my money, never any real need to go above the $30s. Just haven't found them to generally be worth the incremental additional cash.
Of course, I still love me some $18 Rebel Yell, or $19 Rebel Rerserve.
Tanqueray is so 80's:wink: The Pinnacle Whipped vodka is good. My wife makes up some good drinks with that. Been going for Goeslings Black Seal Rum lately and a Bermuda tourist drink called Dark & Stormy.
