Vodka from potatoes? Are you brain damaged?

That's not weird at all.
Norwegian akvavit and Polish vodka are often made of potatoes, whereas grain is most often used elsewhere.

And that is mostly because there is better economy of scale, storage and distribution with grain in the modern world. In older days, most Swedish akvavit used to be made from potatoes.

Chopin or Luskasowa beats out almost any corn or wheat based vodka imo
iri is uncultured swine

Cultured people don't drink vodka lmao

I mean, older days in Sweden were sometimes pretty ****. Potato akvavit sounds like something in the ballpark of bark bread. Like, a creative solution to the problem of getting drunk in 1867. But it's 2025 now and you can drink good liquor

Many people buy unflavoured akvavit and infuse it with their own flavourings. People share recipes and make up their own. That is culture.
I personally like akvavit flavoured with elder flower.

Drinking unflavoured akvavit/schnapps/vodka, or drinking anything just to get drunk is uncultured, I'd agree to that.

I can only tolerate schnapps if there is a thick slice of pear in the glass.
