[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Jerk work?

hehe - my work here is done.

The work of being a general dickhead?

[BailJumper]

Works for me.

Vodkazar, welcome to the board.

Thanks for your posts. I plan on picking up a bottle and giving it a try soon.

I though I was done with this one.

Bailjumper has gone to the trouble to call someone at a local distributer & talked to some inside the building.

Wow. I not even sure what to say

There is a bill "SB653" that would lower the license fee's for a distillery and rectifier from $3125 each to $650 each. Old Russia Distillery has to have both licenses to stay in business. This bill has been assigned to the Appropriations committee but won't be heard unless some support is shown. Please call your senators or the senators on that committee and state your support for that bill.

is $3k out of line with license fees in other states? just curious. -M

Most states are less than a $1,000 and have only one license you have to buy.

i did find a page listing washington's license fees. they wanted $2000/yr for both distiller & rectifier. sounds like oklahoma is high.

ok... remedial question: i understand distilling, but what is rectifying?

The fees seem to make sense as Oklahomas liqour laws are as outdated as liqour itself.

The liqour stores and distributors seem to have a lobbying force second to none.

Metore's has a chocolate flavored vodka. We are looking for good recipes for it to try out at tastings. Please post if you have any good ideas.

[Martin]

perhaps chocolate flavored vodka would make a good mudslide... -M

Metore's is made using Oklahoma Wheat to produce our ethanol and we distill our own water. The Oklahoman about it is that I am from Oklahoma and haved lived here most of my life. The Russian about it is my wife heritage and her father "Simoyn Metore" is the man that gave the recipe. Bailjumper should come to one our tastings. We give our samples at room tempature to show that we are better than Grey Goose and the others.

Vodkaczar: I have purchased your vodka many times. It IS smoother than the Goose. I'm an old time OKC kid and I love to find Oklahoma based products that beat the big advertisers. Best of luck to you!!! I only drink vodka with tonic and lime or an occasional martini.

I do have a quick question: How many times do you filter your vodka? Also, what makes some vodka so good and others taste like turpentine?

If you don't believe a quality vodka makes a difference, give it the ultimate test. Get slammed, at home of course with a bottle of Heaven Hill or Mcormicks then do it with a bottle of quality vodka. I'll bet you will feel the difference the next day. LOL!!

We filter it 10 different ways and use 3 different types of charcoal.

I tried mixing it with a butterscotch snapps last saturday and it was very good. I was thinking of mixing a little cream with also. Still testing. Anything to better serve my customers.

Big talking internet troll.

Vodkaczar: Well stated defense. This guy needs to get a life and start some type of business and experience the blood, sweat and tears that it takes to make it work. He probably flips burgers or rolls burritos.

I like your product and will continue to buy it. Keep your dream alive!!!
