The strongest vodka we have ever come across, Balkan 176 comes in a bottle with 13 different health warnings (including one in Braille), mainly because it's at 88% abv. It is produced in Serbia, and is triple distilled and essentially shouldn't be drunk neat, sniffed, held or even owned. You should probably stop looking at it now...
A vodka called Devil's Spring vodka ( made in New Jersey USA) used to be available. It is (was 160 proof). I am certain your Balken vodka is smoother and distilled more gracefully. I hope it is available in USA soon.
If you don't close your mouth quickly it evaporates before you can swallow. I was bought this as a present a couple of years ago and just noticed it while searching the site for absinthe, after reading some of the reviews I felt I should leave one too. So look.. The stuffs 88% by volume! If you're actually disappointed that it wasn't a great tasting smooth sophisticated beverage then your optimism is admirable if wildly unrealistic. Even if the remaining 12% volume was a form of magical bacon Silk it would still be a slap to the face that's too volatile for the average car to safely run on! That being said it was definitely an experience to try it and that's what life's about.
I'd rather drink Everclear
Best vodka ever for herbal Tincturing.
Dangerous stuff . Strong and smooth . Great in a White Russian
