Sacrilege!
Ever try Slivovitz? Croatian plum brandy. Also Slovenian and Serbian. Some of the liquor stores around here sell it. Maraska is the best, also the most expensive. (like anything else, you get what you pay for). Sort of an acquired taste. But for as long as I can remember it has been a part of every religious celebration, wedding and funeral since I've been old enough to partake (12, I think).

Ahh but does that not have flavor other than ethanol? I don't know anyone that would argue that pure vodka taste good. Some smoother than others, but ethanol in and of itself does not taste good. When I say we mask it with flavors it's anything from adding flavors to distilling without removing all flavors, to aging in wood.
