In reply to the discussion: Tsunami watch on west coast [View all]LeftInTX
(32,863 posts)92. I'm surprised that no one has heard of Kamchatka Vodka

I believe they had signs for it everywhere in the 70's. Who wouldn't want Russian vodka? Seagram's Vodka just didn't have that authentic ring to it.

See at the intial onset the Russian name is enough to make you think well okay its cheap and bottom shelf, but if its Russian it cant be worse than Gordons or Mr. Boston. It is though, and thats liekly because it was made in Kentucky by a large corporation who should be shot. (Honestly we like the Suntory Whiskey, but when you buy companies that make this shit, you suck just a little bit more.)
What they Say: Kamchatka is one of the largest selling vodkas in America. Its smooth, crisp taste makes it excellent year round for entertaining and mixability.
And this from NPR

I don't drink anymore. I believe back in 70s. I may have bought a bottle of this. Mainly because it was Russian.
(Well, NPR tells me it's made in the US)
I even know where the Kamchatka Peninsula is. But I learned that later because I knew it was the name of the vodka. And I thought, "So, that's where the vodka comes "
Drink up America!

The Kamchatka, and the far eastern areas, of Russia are some of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas on the planet n/t

The city was destroyed by a tsunami in 1952. It was rebuilt in a higher location. The port is on the ocean.

Sounds like the warnings did their job, and people got out of the way.
