So you've never had a better mixture of 60% H2O and 40% ethanol? Because that's what's left after 4x distillation followed by filtration, as claimed in the description.

I'm always baffled by people swooning over "good vodka". You're drinking industrial alcohol, diluted with distilled water! There's no flavor left.

Maybe you just have bad taste buds, i am baffled by people who don't taste the difference, an it's probably because you drink vodka that is made with distilled water.

The Vodka that you said is one of the best you've ever had is

"Bei dessen Herstellung wird bestes Dinkel Getreide 4-fach destilliert."

Yes you distill the Alcohol NOT the water, same color different thing ;)

No, the point is that the purest vodka is just ethanol and pure water, which you can approximate by distilling the water. I also don't understand why "good" vodka has any appeal at all, perhaps my bias.

No one said anything about the purest..that would be tasteless.

You wish their distillation and filtration process is any good. I bet it could be repeated 20 times and it would still be garbage.

I had actual vodka made from aldehyde free HPLC grade dry alcohol and deionized water. (Remained after some cleaning of things.)

That thing literally has no taste and it's both smooth and burning sharp at the same time.

The other vodkas tend to have sugars and esters in the mix. You can detect them using a classic test.l, which shows how much the marketing about distillation process is worth. They taste completely differently - depending on brand as well.
