Jason O’Bryan has been bartending for more than a decade, and over that time he has been tasting a myriad of spirits as he hones classic cocktails and invents his own drinks. That’s given him a deep knowledge of everything from amaro to zivania, so we deployed his palate to find out what bottle of vodka you should reach for the next time you’re at the liquor store.

As O’Bryan says in the video, vodka “is designed by very talented people with very expensive machines to taste as much like nothing as possible.” And it’s generally not a spirit that’s loved by craft cocktail bartenders because of its neutrality with some dismissing vodka as “all tasting the same.” However, there are plenty of differences between brands and that’s readily apparent when tasted side by side. So without any knowledge of what he’d be trying and what order in which he’d be trying it, O’Bryan tasted the popular premium vodka brands Belvedere, Grey Goose, Chopin, Ketel One, and St. George. Watch the video to find out what he thinks of each. Come back every Saturday for more video bartending lessons from Jason in his series Cocktails for Adults.
