Someone turned me on to this vodka about 10 years ago and I've been drinking it ever since! I am a true vodka drinker and have never tasted anything smoother. It's the best taste and buy for your buck!
Reviewer: Lynne corbett

Reviewer: Joe Revezzo

I was a big Sobieski supporter. BUT, no longer as the last three bottles I bought (from different merchants) did not have the little plastic pourer insert. This is difficult if you're used to counting out the measurement in each drink. Now I have to use a measuring glass to measure each drink as the Vodka pours out rapidly without this insert. What gives? Are they cutting back??? Very disappointed!!!
Reviewer: Marge

being a huge fan of the original i was disappointed with the aggressiveness of this vodka. i'll pass on this and stick to my regular russian standard.
Reviewer: steve chelmicki

Very smooth!
Reviewer: Giselle Conheeney

Yes, This is an excellent vodka. Nothing fancy, no extra flavors or infusions, but a solid, clean and smoothly textured vodka with little burn.
Reviewer: Mark

One of the best I've had. I like Ciroc and Belvedere and Fris is at the top of my list.
Reviewer: TOP

Every time I've purchased it I have an extremely difficult time opening the bottle
Reviewer: R. Bates

Used to be a staple in my house but I read labels and I don't want "natural flavors" in my vodka. It's much too vague.
Reviewer: Hannah

I've never gotten sick after drinking Crystal Palace, Its not Grey Goose, for the price you can't beat it.
Reviewer: Tom V

As a college student I know that this vodka isn't great, but mixed emwith lemonade or in a slushy is pretty good, it's helped me get undercover wasted many a time.
Reviewer: The jett

I give it 5 stars!!! I usually have a banging headache after a good drinking night....no hang over and I feel good.
Reviewer: Jemel

I am a new consumer of Vodka. What I look for in a vodka is Smoothness, Ethanol taste, after taste, and the feeling of it going into my stomach. I am rather sensitive and don't enjoy the ethanol taste. I find this vodka to be very good when consumed neat from the freezer. I found it had zero burn, little taste, and felt nice going down. This I feel is a smooth vodka that will be stocked on my shelf regularly.

Unless my vodka got switched with nyquil, this bottle is essentially a sleeping drink. Let me start with the very few pros: price and taste. It is an extremely cheap bottle which suits my college lifestyle and the taste is rather smooth, which makes it easy to go down. However, I have never hated being drunk more. I am "drunk" right now writing this review and I bet no one could tell. This vodka gives none of the drunk effects which we like, aka dancing, energetic, outgoing. This makes me want to sleep more than going out. I never thought I'd ever experience this with alcohol before but thanks to Pinnacle, I can... Never buy this. I'm warning you. You are welcome.
Reviewer: James Abbott

I live in PA, liquor stores here don't usually carry Vox but during the Christmas holidays it was available, well I bought a bottle or 2 every week while supplies lasted. Vox became my favorite. Wish Vox we're always available to me, missing you Vox!
Reviewer: Kris

Great local product , Keep up the good work
Reviewer: Bernard Franke

I like all the flavors but pinnacle whipped. It's sooo freaking strong. Gross as hell.
Reviewer: Derrick

I don't understand this hype about Tito's. Harsh going down and horrible bitter after taste. I've gotten 3 bottles 3 different times, all the same. I see nothing but 5 star review which confuses me. Am I getting a bad batch?
Reviewer: Dylan

Better than many of the vodkas out there. Especially when you consider this is an inexpensive vodka. Smooth and great aftertaste.

Reviewer: Rick

The tops are nearly impossible to open!!!
Reviewer: Mary

Not really a problem with the taste. It's the damn lid that takes every muscle of my husband's to open!!! Guess if he wasn't home I wouldn't be having a cocktail!! Change the lid!!!
Reviewer: Katrina

This is the Gold Standard for Russian vodkas. It sells for $60 Canadian where I live, but on sale at $50 I'll treat myself to a bottle.
Reviewer: Allan Swartz

Unexpected smoothness. Poured a glass over ice, splash of oj and you are off to the races. Recommended.
Reviewer: Alexandrov

The best citrus vodka I've ever had, beats all the big boys!!♡
Reviewer: Ilona Osborne

Living in Austin I have mostly drunk Tito's. Which is a great vodka. But Ketel One has a lot more going on and is overall imho a much better vodka.
Reviewer: DG

Anyone who is stupid enough to think that Burnett's will give you a worse hangover than any other vodka deserves to overspend on vodka. Burnett's is good to very good vodka for most purposes, and by my lights smoother than for instance Tito's. The Wine Spectator gave it 90 points.
Reviewer: Torgeir Hansson

For Alberta ice vodka: gaaah. Definitely don't do neat. Good price point but as with anything in life, one gets what one pays for. I am a Titos girl and this one literally is reserved for when budget is cheap and I need a buzz. As a mixer I dont know, I do my vodka neat or with soda water. Honestly this tastes like some.bad mashed moonshine I had in Kentucky. Honest review, but if you want to tie one on cheap a go to.
Reviewer: Jenn

Probably the smoothest vodka I have had doesn't take the skin off the back of your throat but still has a vodka bite.really impressed.
Reviewer: Tracey

Taste it and you will enjoy it. At least I did. The price is just a bonus.
Reviewer: JR

Mislead product, it went from 12onz , 5 ALC to 11.2 one, 4.5 ALC !! And More pricey!! Won't be buying this product anymore
Reviewer: Luz

Tastes good to me with anything, great deal, I appreciate it alot being $8.99 because money is tight, no liquor is great at taste until your used to it, unless flavored liquor, I am drinking it with Kool aid right now, drink it save money for rent or bills, make these good people alot of money
Reviewer: Alexander Saida

After being a vodka snob, grey goose, absolute, Tito's. I was in the liquor store and saw Lexus the large bottle. The sign said 2 for &20.00. It was a misprint but they honored the price. Would have been $60.00. It was the smoothest best tasting vodka I've ever tasted!
Reviewer: Will Ingersoll

First vodka to ever give me a bad headache! Not a fan.
Reviewer: Gailbee

Your cherry vodka freezes and your price went up. Shame on you. I have drank this for several yrs. I will be buying differant
Reviewer: Marie

Pearl is the vodka that had me switch from a gin martini drinker to a vodka martini drinker. That was twenty years ago. I've continued to try them all, but Pearl is still my favorite. I can't believe its low price. If it catches on, we'll be paying twice as much for it, and doing it willingly.
Reviewer: John Terrana

The new organic version of Belvedere will no longer be purchased by me since it's been changed to organic. Bad move. I will buy a different vodka starting today Very bad move!
