3 Star Star Star Star StarLet me first make it clear that Grey Goose is a sham. It was created by an American guy, Sidney Frank, as cash grab. What I mean is that Grey Goose is the boy band of the vodka world and Sidney Frank is Lou Perlman. There is nothing inherently special about it. It has no historical recipe or special, modern processes to improve quality.
It doesn’t even have a heart warming story. Frank planted the distillery in France to take advantage of the perceived elegance of the country. He even jacked the price up so that people would believe it is of higher quality. Let me say it again for those hard of reading: Grey Goose is a sham.That said, he did an excellent job with his trickery. He created a brand that made him a ton of money and is arguably thought of as the best vodka on the market by the general public. I know a lot of vodkas get made just to score some cash.
The reason Grey Goose bugs me is that Frank successfully duped the American public into believing that this vodka is something special when it really isn’t. The ShotI won’t protest that Grey Goose is a smooth vodka. It certainly isn’t a good tasting vodka. It’s a little bitter at first.
Then it gets more bitter. After it goes down, the aftertaste is even more bitter.
It doesn’t burn, but I’ve tasted better vodkas that are. That said, I’ve tasted worse.
A chaser wasn’t necessary, but I wouldn’t mind one. The Mixed DrinkI gave Grey Goose to the tried-and-true Simply Orange screwdriver. It’s not horrible, but the bitters are definitely there. The sweet flavors of the juice are diluted significantly. Normally, I enjoy the high pulp, but this brew isn’t very satisfying with pulp. OpinionsErin said, “It takes a lot of mixer to cover that up.” She mixed with passion fruit juice, which is usually a pretty good mixer.I don’t expect to pull Grey Goose from its laurels in the eyes of the populous, but I do hope a few people have open eyes. Grey Goose isn’t what it claims to be.
It’d be a wonderful vodka in a lower price range with different expectations. Where it stands, it’s simply an overstatement.Rated 3 out of 5.Published May 27, 2008 12:57 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By vodkagurl261.This is just not good to me. I’ve have it several times and it is bitter and overrated. People buy it because they fall for that old “if it cost more it must be better” scam. If you want some great vodka try Sobieski or Svedka.vodkagurl26Published May 02, 2012 9:21 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By JThe buzz I get from goose is better than many other vodkas, regardless if you think they taste better.
The buzz from goose is worth the price. It’s amazing Published October 28, 2014 12:12 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By JasonNo RatingIf you have any Costcos in your area, their Kirkland Signature brand is reportedly the equivalent of Grey Goose, distilled in the same place, same country, same water, ingredients, etc.JasonPublished February 04, 2010 2:14 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By RobertWe do have Costco around here, but I feel pretty confident that they won’t be allowed to carry liquor in Alabama.
Someone has suggested it to me before. The next time I get to a more liberal place with Costcos, I’ll definitely check it out.Published February 04, 2010 2:14 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By Ike2.I just don’t like this stuff. I’ve had it several times and its just average and definitely not worth the money.IkePublished July 20, 2009 6:18 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By RobertThat’s exactly the sentiment that I’d like to convey to people. You summed it up very well.Published July 27, 2009 2:14 pm.
Grey Goose Vodka Review By JasonNo RatingThe review on Grey Goose is spot on, it is by no means a bad vodka, but it’s definitely overrated. It’s smooth but gets fairly bitter. It’s bested by lesser priced vodkas such as Tito’s, Russian Standard, Sobieski, etc. Not worth it!JasonPublished February 16, 2010 5:17 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By JasonI picked up a bottle of Costco’s Kirland Signature vodka as described in one of my posts above.
I’d say it’s BETTER than Grey Goose! Very clean and flavorless, very very mild burn, and less of an aftertaste than Grey Goose.
I didn’t see any other bottle sizes as it was right there in the front and I grabbed one, but $26.99 for a 1.75 bottle? Do the math, that’s quite inexpensive. I might have found a new favorite! Too bad it’s still FrenchPublished April 02, 2010 2:14 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By wojtekfrench is good for cheese and wine. And escargo.and frogs. But definetly not for vodka.or beerPublished May 12, 2013 10:22 pm.
Grey Goose Vodka Review By teduardo3.Not bad, not great either, but definitely not worth the price. A smooth, but bitter shot, and not a very good mixer. I wouldn’t turn down a free shot at a party, but I have better things to spend my money on.teduardoPublished December 27, 2010 9:09 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By phd.is.nextNo RatingNot terrible, but overrated, especially for the price.phd.is.nextPublished January 29, 2012 9:21 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By AZWolverine3.Regardless of its origins, I though GG was pretty good, definitely smooth & fairly sweet.
Beyond that there isn’t much, and it certainly isn’t worth the price. I’m glad I learned this at a tasting, as opposed to buying a bottle!AZWolverinePublished December 21, 2010 9:21 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By Knv5.While I do agree that there is a lot of hype and that’s what’s made its commercially successful I still do think it’s a great product for my needs. Sure it’s expensive at $120, for a 75cl bottle in my city, but I find myself going back to it often despite being a youngster with no income. I solely drink vodka in cocktails and my most commonly consumed mix is that of ginger ale, vodka and some lime,just cause how easy it is to make and for the appealing taste to me, and for this Grey goose is tremendous. Its extremely smooth and more or less imperceptible. Being young, I tend to gulp down my drinks very quickly and grey goose makes me feel like I’m drinking chilled ginger ale with no alcohol in it.
It leaves no burn and gives you a good feeling a little later which is all I want from my vodka. Admittedly its popularity today is largely from the enormous hype and there might be more unique vodkas out there that pique your interest a bit more but if all you’re doing is drinking mixes at a party Grey goose is should satisfy you. Despite the heavy price tag, I find myself coming back to grey goose as often as I can for parties and I recommend it to anyone looking for a very smooth vodka, perfect for parties, and who has no issues with the price.KnvPublished March 17, 2018 10:10 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By Justin Lamb4.I like Grey Goose for the fact that it makes a great mixer. I did the Simply Orange screwdriver, but also added blueberry lemonade and a shot of Absolut Citron. The sweet/bitter ratio is smooth and really I feel it’s best with most citrus drinks/juices. It also seems to have a more energizing buzz, even with just shots.
It is a bit overpriced, but the Cherry and Orange varieties are uniquely good.Justin LambPublished September 07, 2017 2:02 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By KimNo RatingI would classify myself as a regular drinker, on average 2 times a week, I am not a light weight I can drink shots of tequilla with absolutely no side effects.
I recently had 3 shots of grey goose vodka and I can’t remember a thing. I am a 41 year old women and I weigh about 136 pounds. Has this ever happened to anyone else, I am concerned that maybe someone put something in my drink.KimPublished July 08, 2009 8:08 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By RobertGrey Goose is the same proof as any other vodka. If you’re used to drinking a few shots without problems, it is possible someone drugged your drink, especially if you were at a crowded club where it’s easy to pull that kind of thing off. However, there are several factors other than weight that can contribute to how fast and how much you need to drink to get drunk. The most notable one is food.
If you didn’t eat much that day, the alcohol will be absorbed faster than if you had eaten recently because food slows the absorption rate.That said, I have been around people who drink a pretty fair amount who inexplicably and randomly get much more intoxicated than they normally would if they had consumed the same amount of alcohol. These happenings occurred in controlled settings where I don’t feel drugging is possible. So, you may have just had a bad night.As long as nothing happened to you, I wouldn’t worry about it now. Do keep a close eye on your drink next time if you’re drinking at the same place. And, it’s always a good idea to bring a friend if you drink out in the event that you need some assistance. Hope that helps!Published July 08, 2009 8:08 am.
Grey Goose Vodka Review By KimThanks for the input maybe it was just a bad night but I will tell you that’s the end of me and vodka.:)Published July 08, 2009 12:12 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By Robin A CANNONI dont think anyone put anything in your drink or you had a bad night. I dont know why but each time I drink grey goose it’s as if I’ve been drugged with something and then I’m sick throwing up all night. I know its grey goose because this has happened more than oncePublished September 14, 2018 6:06 am. Grey Goose Vodka Review By skiseiw93.I agree with your review, its definitely OK when you drink it on the rocks not excellent though since it doesnt “burn” at all, so if you are not used to the taste of vodka and don´t mind spending a couple of bucks try it.
I personally hated it with mixed drinks I could hardly taste it and usually I pour enough vodka on my drinks.skiseiw9Published October 01, 2009 2:14 pm. Grey Goose Vodka Review By RobertEh. I’d barely suggest it.
There are far better vodkas for less money. It’s not a bad vodka, but it’s the last thing I suggest to people.Published October 02, 2009 7:19 pm.
Grey Goose Vodka Review By FrollyNo RatingI have to say I’m somewhat disappointed with how this vodka was rated. First of all let me say that I am, while new to the vodka degustation scene, an avid vodka fan, and have tasted only a few yet very different vodkas.I’m not here to say that Grey Goose is an amazing vodka, it’s not. It’s good, some (me amongst them) would say it’s very good, and while there are more interesting vodkas out there at a more affordable price, Grey Goose is still better than many. However in your review you (correctly) argue that a lot of it’s fame comes from advertising hype, and that it is therefore (in my opinion, highly) overpriced, shouldn’t it therefore get a 1 star for bang for the buck?My personal opinion of this vodka is that it is definitely smooth and therefore worth a taste for those who are new to enjoying nice vodka as opposed to simply mixing it with whatever will hide the taste and drinking as many as possible. It has the strong feel of vodka without any of the chemical harshness that you will find in cheap brands and leaves you with an open mind as to what flavour variants are available when moving on to other vodkas. For that reason I would give it a 4/5 rating, 1/5 value for money, and 3/5 overall score. If someone offers you a taster, go for it, but don’t get yourself a bottle unless you’re getting it duty free (as I did).Worth a quick side mention, the best bang for the buck good tasting vodka I’ve come across so far has got to be Smirnoff Black Label, it’s got a considerably hint of spices which lingers after you drink it, delightful!FrollyPublished April 21, 2010 5:17 pm.
Grey Goose Vodka Review By Matt1.I received a bottle of Grey Goose for Christmas. I was so looking forward to trying it, I never had it before but I knew its ‘reputation’ and I knew it was double the price of what I normally drink.Wow, what a total disappointment! No flavour, no mouth feel, harsh aftertaste, and a bad head the following day.
