El sr J and I started with 4 tastings from our current stock:
#1 (from left) Zubrowka. Polish. The "original bison grass vodka," a stalk of which is included in the bottle. $276 MXN
#2 Wyborowa. Polish. Rye. $127 MXN
#3 Stolichnaya. Latvia. Wheat and rye. Don't know price. Probably around 250 MXN. The small bottle came free with a long-gone liter bottle.
#4 Oso Negro. Mexico. Doesn't say what it's made of. Hopefully not bears. I'm embarrassed to
say we also had this one on hand. We used it to make slivovitz, which we can't seem to find here.
El sr J's preferences were: 2, 1, 3, 4. He must have been Polish in a previous life.
Mine were: 4, 1, 2, 3
So we both like Wyborowa best! And it's really cheap! However, there are many brands left to try. We should live so long.
Barbara, did you report the numbers wrong? (Did you both pick #2 first?) I got Alain a bottle of Chartreuse...btw, you could have toasted his BD if you posted on the same day you sipped! Don't know how to convert into Mexican currency, but rather pricy! And quite an interesting herby taste.
