Seagram's Vodka

Seagram's vodka is the best of the bottom of the barrel. At a price point of about $10-15 it destroys its competition in that bracket. That being said Seagram's vodka is no Belvedere either.

Seagram is traditionally known for making gin, but they didn't do half bad on their entrance into the vodka market. Seagram is a decent mixing vodka. It doesn't really have much distinctive characteristics and if mixed to strong there is a noticeable burn in the throat. This is acceptable for an entry level vodka though obviously not desirable.

Seagram's vodka mixes decent with sweet and slightly better with citrus. It actually does a fairly decent job of mixing with cola. It however is defiantly not a vodka drink straight as it will burn the throat and lacks definition of its flavor.

Conclusion: For $10-15 it makes a good mixer for punch at large parties full of people you don't care if you impress that much. Honestly I would opt to pay a little more and get something like Rain or Fris, but if your on a budget Seagram's vodka will do. A 4.5 out 10.

I think you rather under rate poor seagrams. I mean for a handle (1.75 l) it runs $15 on bevmo, while rain is $29 (93% more), and friz is $23 (53% more), and it really is completely capable as far as mixing goes.

Or maybe you just need a separate value for money line.

Just a thought

Seagrams is the best vodka I've ever had.
Much better than Skyy or Ketel one. I liked it so much I became an alcoholic... Oh well, no more Seagrams!!!
