I went to the LCBO to buy a bottle of Stoli Elit Vodka, but it was out of stock. At the time Elit was on sale for $50 instead of it's usual $60. I saw Sid's on the shelf and decided to give it a try. What a wonderful surprise. This vodka is as smooth as Elit or maybe smoother. It has a lovely creamy taste with a light sweetness. I drink it on ice with a few olives. This has now become my preferred vodka.
