Advantages: Quite a neutral taste, well-priced.

Disadvantages: There are better vodkas out there.

Smirnoff vodka is pretty much the standard for most vodka to be judged. It is not the nicest vodka on the market by any margin, but it is certainly a very good marker because it is a reasonably high quality spirit at a very good price. Morrissons, for example, had an offer of 1L bottles for £10 a while back which makes it exceptionally good value.

The vodka is triple distilled and you can taste the difference between this and any 'value' or 'basic' vodka- it is noticeably higher quality because the higher amount of filtration has removed unpalatable impurities that are very present in cheap spirits such as acetone (nail varnish remover taste) and other such byproducts of distillation.

Overall, Smirnoff is a good benchmark vodka because it is (fairly) cheap, easily obtainable in pubs and clubs, and far superior to most discount spirits that fall in a slightly lower price range than it.

Summary: Buy it if you want vodka that tastes acceptable.
