Alberta™ Pure Vodka – “Triple Distilled for the Ultimate Purity”
Spotted in a nearby recycling bin. The very idea of an Alberta-manufactured vodka somehow captured my imagination, so I snapped a picture.
First-impression-incongruity works in favor of some liquors. ‘Quirk appeal’ I think they call it. On the notoriously overcrowded vodka shelves, distinguishing your swill from the horde is vital. But in this case… I don’t know… it just seems like a joke. As if “Alberta vodka” was actually a Canadian euphemism for cow urine or something. But maybe I’m being a snob. Anyway – yes, it was a plastic bottle. Of course.
The stuff has its admirers, nevertheless. And it seems like it’s been around for a while. Goes to show how far snobbery gets you.
This particular recycling bin is often full of such wonders. You never know what I’ll discover next!
Alberta Vodka was given the first prize for vodka in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition this year 2011. Not only a Double Gold Medal winner but the best of all the Double Gold medal winners.
You could now drink your own you know what for your stupid ill informed comments
Geoffrey Elborn:
Isn’t the San Francisco World Spirits Competition the one where everyone gets a prize? Like in a developmentally-disabled preschool? Sketchy. Anyway – good for Alberta Vodka! They can graduate to glass bottles now.
Should I judge your writing skills based the above remark? Give your poor, overworked editors a break – send me the draft of your upcoming book. I’ll take the red pen to it! I can even add content: I still know the best kiosks in Moscow for avoiding counterfeits. And I know to ignore foreigners’ advice when it comes to vodka.
It’s better than all the other Vodkas including the Russion ones. Easier on thestomachand the gut. Smooth going down and staying there giving the sensation of wholeness! This is the best!!!
I was going to delete ^this comment as astroturfing. But then again – if you take the above at face value, plastic-bottle vodkas like Alberta™ couldn’t hope for a more appropriate endorsement.
Alberta Vodka was taken off the shelves in Nova Scotia.
It is by far the best vodka made. I have tried them all.
Why is a fine Canadain product like this refused to be sold by Darrel Dexter’s Nova Scotia Government?
Hm. I see no news stories to back your first point.
Your second & third are overlappingly absurd and stupid.
Your fourth involves a level of political knowledge about a remote corner of North America that only maybe a dozen people possess.
Finally, it’s weird when Canadians misspell “Canadain”. And Mr. Dexter’s name is spelled with two “L”s. Apparently.
