A little follow up to our vodka connoisseurs segment of the show. Scooter claimed that he saw an episode of Mythbusters where a self-proclaimed vodka connoisseur got the top shelf vodka right in a blind taste test. But Scooter misremembered that episode, because what was actually being tested was not whether a connoisseur could tell the difference between Grey Goose and Smirnoff (I still contend he can’t because there is no difference after a certain baseline of quality is crossed) but whether a connoisseur could tell the difference between top shelf vodka and cheap vodka filtered through a Brita filter.
A completely nonsensical test but also a comparatively easy test. There is a difference between super cheap vodka (like Sobieski or any dirt cheap plastic bottle vodka) and good vodka (from Smirnoff to Grey Goose to Stoli), but there is really no human detectable difference between, say, Smirnoff and Grey Goose. A vodka connoisseur is still as silly and fake as a tea leaf reader.
Here’s the Mythbusters episode.
