Just bought a bottle of Olympia Vodka. Produced at the same facility that used to brew Olympia beer. [View all]

I've been trying out local spirits in order to keep my booze money in the community. That's why I've kept my bourbon purchases to Woodinville. (Plus, they produce a wonderful bourbon! ) Now to try a local vodka.

Olympia vodka is pretty strong when ice-cold. Once it has warmed up just a bit, it's tangy, and a little peppery. I like it. As much as I want to fund Ukrainian distilleries, and continue to sample Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, and French vodkas, keeping it close to home in my wonderful Blue state is an important consideration in these difficult times.

Hope you will join me for my Friday night drinking thread in the Lounge tonight...
