This business model is basically the entire premium vodka industry: identical product (by law) differentiated on marketing / hype.

So I've heard this claim before, and it's I can't believe that it's true. I can easily tell the difference between Wyborowa or Finlandia, the difference in taste is massive.

It's the low-end vodkas that are literally identical. Many high-end -- or just "quality" -- spirits are in fact different. Tito's, for example, is distilled 6 times.
