Pros: Almost a "sweet" taste compared to other vodkas
Cons: Has been surpassed in taste and price by other vodkas.
The Bottom Line: Try a bottle, see if you like it. You certainly could do much worse, but you can also do better as well. Makes a decent gift.

| justindemetri's Full Review: Ketel One Vodka 80 Proof |
Is a good vodka overall and is well made using an old Dutch recipe if I remember correctly. It goes along the lines of only the "middle third" of each batch is used, the first and third distillations are discarded apparently. I still buy it now and then, but its not a must buy for me. Although I'll never pass up an ice cold shot of Kettle One. Keep it in the freezer and pass it around on a cold winter day.
Was sort of fancy about a decade ago when the super premium vodkas started becoming trendy. But there are better tasting vodkas out there now for a fairer price. In my neck of the woods it is still on the expensive side, even though I find other vodkas that I prefer at a better price level.
The bottle is cool looking so it will always make a nice gift for your favorite booze lover. If you are like me and infuse your vodkas, Kettle One isn't too bad, and the bottle looks even better with your colored infusion. The sweetness that I detect in the vodka makes Kettle One better for infusing fruits rather than nuts, I'm not too much a fan of Kettle One infused with walnuts.
