better than Barton's...maybe
I would like to spread the word that this vodka isn't all its cracked up to be. I am a homebrewer, so I'm always on the look-out for bail top bottles. I saw this in the 750ml size at a local liquor store for 22.99 each. I loved the bottle, and the eco thing is always cool, so I picked it up. Distilled four times...on a pot still in the hills? This stuff is rough, a blind test conducted in my dorm room concluded that there was no discernable difference between 360 and the cheapest vodka I could find.

What a bottle!
Your alcoholic tendencies should kill your liver, not the planet. Stick with this stuff, it's hella green. Well, at least the bottle is. And what a bottle! You could really crack some skulls with that thing. I recommend this product, yeah. Makes one killer Eco-tini, whatever the heck that means. Five stars five stars five stars!

Eh. Not even good for vodka.
I'm not often picky about my vodkas but this was an exception. I did like the bottle design but the taste was disappointing. It resembled a mouthful of water with a splash of straight rubbing alcohol. In a mixed drink this flavor could be pushed out but i would prefer to taste and enjoy my alcohol.

It's what's inside that counts
Yes, the bottle is uber-cool and the company provides the envelope and postage to mail it back so they can recycle it, which is great an sets them apart. However, I had better vodka out of plastic jugs (which we recycled) when I was a freshman in college. And its not even organic vodka! Ouch.

There goes my liver!
This is a great start -- the intent is really admirable. I'm disappointed that the vodka is not actually organic. I'm not a vodka connoisseurs, so your mileage may vary but this vodka has a pretty strong flavor. I'm going to try using some of it to make limoncello -- infusion with lemon and dilution with simple syrup might work pretty well with vodka!

A new way to drink responsibly
This is the nicest Vodka bottle you can find. Good way to impress someone as a present. Everything in the packaging is recycled or post consumer, which also make you look like a responsible thinking individual. A present that makes you look good.
The vodka itself is not organic, but when you give your liver a smack what is one or more pesticide.
It does not taste great IMO.

Handcrafted Vodka in Sustainable Packaging
We recently had a vodka tasting in the office and had some great 360 Vodka sea breezes and some other amazing concoctions involving agave nectar, rosemary and lemon juice that were surprisingly good. Beautiful packaging, great taste and a new vodka to impress all your friends (if they are impressed by that sort of thing). Good all around and highly recommended. This would make a great gift too!

To spray or not to spray?
I enjoyed my drink. Now I'm definitely not a connoisseur, I had to even spell check connoisseur, my high-end drinks usually come from Scotland. But 360 was nice and smooth.
I like the packaging and intention around production, it gives a good feeling to the drink. But here's the rub: if you're touting sustainability, why not go all the way? I mean the first question I'm going to ask, the question I don't think I should have to ask, with all the green-ness to the package design and website, is why not go organic? When I think food or drink I'm not really thinking carbon footprint or offsets. I'm thinking, what's going into my body.
So take the next step folks, go organic. Otherwise it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

4 Stars for 360
I love the green movement. Enter the newest brainchild of that movement - 360 Vodka - a completely organic, 4 times filtered American Vodka. I had some of this stuff today and by golly it was delicious. It goes well with cranberry, and I am hoping it will go as well in tomato juice tomorrow morning, because it's so smooth I just keep drinking it.
In addition to the vodka itself, the bottle is awesome and green too. The bottle is 100% recycled glass, and it is one of the best looking vodka bottles I have ever seen. The only part of it that isn't completely recycled and recyclable is the cap - but thats OK because each each bottle comes with a self addressed envelope for you to mail that cap back in for re-use. They thought of everything!
Now if you will excuse me, I think I have to go and pour some of this drink out for my green homies.

In light of Jay's review, I need to update my own review. I assumed, because of the fact that this vodka was touted as eco friendly, that it was organic. Apparently that is not an assumption I should have made. I still... more »

360 Vodka tasty, tasty, tasty
I mixed the vodka with some cranberry juice, ice and a little water. The results, a tasty, refreshing drink.
The company website has a great philosophy regarding making the vodka and concerning the environment. I'm 3/4 the way through with my drink and I can't articulate my words very well. Enjoy

As a quick update... I still love the bottle. It is in front of my computer and peripheries. Who's LEDs give it an eerie glow. more »
