Smirnoff No. 21 80 Proof Vodka, 50 mL, 40% ABV

This vodka stands out immediately for its purity. Crystal-clear and impeccably clean, it has that smooth, refined quality you only get from well-crafted distillation. No harsh after-notes, no chemical bite just a crisp, fresh clarity that sets the tone from the first sip. It doesn't have a super strong smell. It also doesn't burn when it goes down.

My experience with Smirnoff has been positive. I think of it as a good base for mixing, especially for something like a cosmopolitan. It's a pretty accessible vodka and can be found as a staple at the LCBO. If you're looking to take a bottle to a party, and not wine, this is a good choice. It's reasonably priced and comes in a variety of sizes. It tastes fine both chilled or at room temperature.
