I could talk about this all day, but if I were really pressed, I would have to say that my all-time favorite food and booze combination would have to be Khortytsa Platinum vodka and Ukrainian salo on bread with a thin slice of garlic. Khortytsa was first introduced to me by a Ukrainian friend who owned a restaurant and he would insist on bringing out plates of salo when we'd drink with him. It's the cleanest vodka I've ever had and it definitely packs a punch. However, it's very unusual to get a hangover from it if you're drinking it straight. The salo is delicious on its own, but it has the added benefit of allowing one to drink Slavic volumes of liquor.

I also like the blurb from the Khortytsa website:

PLATINUM NEW FORM OF ABSOLUTE CLEAN The vodka contains an amber acid that perfectly balance all vodka ingredients and its acidity. When tasting Platinum vodka, you’ll be surprised with not feeling spirit notes! This vodka is for delicate flavor lovers. Even women can drink it without eating snacks. Besides, it ideally suits to any cocktails – one feels no spirit upon mixing cocktail ingredients!

Also, if you click Disribution and select "USA" it will show a map of their distribution center, which they claim is New York, but on their map is actually in Virginia.
