it's his company. it's fucking delicious too.
To make money, you stupid nigger.
Because it's actually decent (if a touch overpriced).
For cheap vodka it's actually quite good.

It's vodka, so I seriously doubt that. All vodka, no matter the brand or quality, tastes like fucking shit.
Been meaning to pick some of this up. Heard it's good
>not having the vodka glass in the shape of something from ghostbusters
I'm sure he'd be a billionaire by now.
Ok dude
It's actually good kek.
He doesn't own the rights to Ghostbusters.
Vodka is literally unflavored alcohol watered down to 40%. It's all the same.
You're a pretentious cunt if you think otherwise.
More accurately, he's not the sole owner of the rights
I bought one for my dad because he wanted the skull shaped glass and he poured the vodka down the sink in front on me. Fifty dollars literally down the fucking drain.
LOL.

Why didn't you just buy a fucking skull shaped glass?

Try to make pure alcohol and let me know how it went.
Pure moonshine is hard to make. It's easy to make stuff that tastes like X.
My friend makes his own moonshine, a skill he learned from his father and it's better than 95% of store bought alcohol here.
Nope, according to Reitman he, Aykroid, Ramis and Murray all sold their parts to Sony.

Go to any scientific lab and get 99% alcohol. Water it down yourself to 40%. That's your "pure vodka".
They did it mostly because otherwise Sony refused to do anything with the franchise.
Tell us more, your dad sounds more and more based with each new post you make.
You know you can filter it many different ways. As well as distilling it from various sources such as: sugar beets, potatoes, rice, corn, grapes etc. All of which will give a different feel and taste.
Did your dad ever slay a n*gger with that sword?
I have actually done that (well, I distilled it myself in a lab), and honestly it isn't the same.
Holy shit this thread is full of retards

>the absolute state of trailer park trash
>I genuinely, genuinely pity you
Why? It's not like he's missed out on a big experience there. The whole point is that it essentially doesn't taste like much of anything. Especially when it's freezer-cold, you just get the slight oily yet flavorless sensation of drinking it and then a while later you get buzzed.
$50 worth of memory, and he stuck it to two aspies (you and kroyd)
its good stuff
Because like "pure water", there are impurities in it that give it a flavour. If you drink pure water, that shit is disgusting and it'll "burn" your tongue.
When people say they like X brand of vodka, they mean they like the nasty shit that's left it in during the distilling process.
what's wrong with enjoying the way something tastes while getting hammered?
just like every other alcohol
>scientific lab
You do know there are impurities filtered out of alcohols for various sectors right? A scientific lab will most likely have 200 proof gns that is denatured to avoid paying taxes on it. Ideally you should just find some local distillery and ask to sample their stuff.
He's probably made more money selling this than he did from all the films he was previously in put together.
This is the real takeaway here. The idea of a "delicious vodka" seems kind of ridiculous to me since the primary virtue of good vodka is that it's smooth and doesn't have intrusive, unpleasant flavors. Bad vodka, on the other hand, is pretty terrible.

You would be surprised. Some people like the burn or harsh bite and others prefer smooth with no bite. The reason everyone thinks of vodka as a neutral spirit is because it's marketed at a mixer, to supplement a juice or soda to get drunk.
Cute
Why not pour it into another bottle and give it some subhuman who drinks vodka?
>I only drink Bud Light because FUCK those beer snobs!
>>it's fucking delicious too.
I bought some just for fun, because I'd heard about Dan Ackroyd's connection and it comes in a cool glass skull bottle.
No lie, best vodka I've ever drank. It's a mid shelf vodka, but it's smooth as fuck.
it's very expensive. if you're paying for it then sure get me something i like but otherwise if i'm paying i'm getting that 99 proof.
I love how Aykroid honestly believes that Aliens don't show themselves to us because 9/11
>its not whiskey me no want
The main difference between Russian Standard and Russian Standard platinum is that the latter lacks the unpleasant chemical aftertaste of the former. There's really not a lot of actual flavor going on either way though, and that's been true of every vodka I've tried. Belvedere, Chopin, Stoli, Ketel One, whatever.
rye, wheat, or potatoes, or it isn't vodka
Bud light is pure kino. The fact when you drink it, very bad and pathetic people extremely angry only enhances the experience.

Why do people pretend to enjoy the taste of Vodka? It tastes like shit and gives you an uncomfortable shiver when drinking, no matter what the brand. It literally has 0 taste, it only tastes alcohol.
He's likely correct though. Why would an Alien race want to do business with a government that killed it's own people to justify a war in the middle east?
i doubted crystal head vodka until i drank it, and it is the best vodka i have ever had. i would recommend it to everyone
Not everyone's a raging pussy like you
Whiskey and Vodka taste like shit. Even Joe Rogan who loves Whiskey says it tastes like shit. Stop kidding your self.
It's a power move to drink such a lowbrow drink in a social setting. Same reason I always say my favorite director is Michael Bay. The betas are incredulous but the girls get wet for you. It's the anti-autism to drink a bud.

Okay, so basically what you're saying is that you don't know anything about anything.
alphas dont think about power moves. that pure beta shit
I work in the industry retard. You really think Tito distills all that alcohol himself?
I still don't get why for a few frames Dan Aykroyd's character had a dick nose in that movie.
Obviously it's not just one person, but are you seriously suggesting the distillery buys the booze from someone else instead of making it themselves?
>all this shouting about whiskey or vodka
meanwhile Ill stick with my superior drink
>30% ABV
They do and to call it "craft" or "handmade" (which is meaningless) they run it through a still or a charcoal filter and this counts as them distilling it. Tito for example buys from ADM, GPC, MGP, or UltraPure (whoever is cheapest) then runs it through a pot still and he can call it craft vodka.
all alcohol tastes like shit, let's stop pretending
they buy wholesale mash right? what exactly is wrong with that?
Sounds like a typical American racket, but that surely doesn't go for every brand on the market.
If your shit tastes like alcohol, you've been drinking way too much.
Gin is by far the worst of the spirits. It has taste, yes, the taste of fucking shit. Better taste like nothing that taste like that.
They don't buy the mash they buy 190 proof grain neutral spirits, all they need to to do is water it down to 80 proof.
Virtually every brand its cheaper to buy it than to invest in a facility to distill a clean enough product.
i tried gin after i fell in love with lucille bluth
i like it. green olives or cocktail onions or vermouth or all 3 or none of them. still 80 proof like the vodka i used to get but much better

For price-to-quality ratio, you can't beat mid-tier bourbons in the US. In the UK/Ireland, that switches to scotch.
Suntory is based, fun fact they bought Jim Beam for $16 billion.
Like i've said, look for local places that have their own farm and distill their own feedstock, everyone that's in it like Dan are just looking to make money and to make money there are plenty of shortcuts to take.
For relaxing time...
Yeah and the entire company threatened to quit when Suntory said they were gonna start altering the recipe and production methods. The jap whisk(e)y industry was a laughing stock for years until some dude got the bright idea to try to improve production techniques and, since there's a handful of jap whiskies worth a damn now, they thought it would work with other low-shelf spirits like Beam. Problem is that Jimmy Beam is/was better than the entire jap line of spirits until relatively recently.
>Lagavulin
Speaking of Rons...
I bought this as a joke, but it was pretty damn good.
except for the high levels of mercury and lead, it's actually delicious.
Captain Morgan isn't even 80 proof and all the flavor in spirits come from the alcohol content. Any spiced rum at a reasonable proof would be better if all you've had is Captain Morgan.
What vodka did you drink to say that? I m not a fan bc i only tasted low quality vodka you buy bc cheap, when i was in twenties but broke.
Then i tried belvedere and grey goose, and it s like silk in a bottle.
You should try it maybe you ll fall in love.
As a Vodka drinker, I don't know how people drink it straight. Doing shots I can kind of get because certain brands do go down much smoother than most, but I usually just 50/50 it with some type of mixer and go to town.
Grey Goose Orange with a scoop of orange cream sherbet is divine.
Best rhum to mix with lime and pepsi.
Rhum is made with sugar cane, rum is made with who the fuck knows. Pretty sure the cap'n is made with who the fuck knows.
Don't drink low quality vodka dry. Do it with proper vodka you'll feel the gap.
Protip: This is the same vodka, made with the same ingredients, in the same factory, as the stuff he is selling, the only difference being they don't filter it through the magic crystals.
Yeah but i only drink it with pepsi and lime not dry, i flavor it myself. But i see what you mean.
I don't think it's safe to drink without the magic
HAHAHAHA based boomer
>tfw used to fill a grey goose bottle with 75% bottom shelf plastic bottle vodka and 25% water

Me and my buddies did this for 2 years straight. Admittedly Crystal Head does taste a little different than most vodkas, so I'm not sure how well it'd work in that case but you can easily fake Grey Goose / Tito 's / etc and not a single person would know.
Conor McGrogrs whiskey is my favourite tipple when I want to be a distinguished gentleman of latent violench
Yeah of course do that to drunk people and they won't feel any difference.
It's decent vodka in a cool container. Honestly it's just a solid product but reddit says
>omg actor guy is doing something besides acting
They didn't know the difference from the onset, dude. Diluting it with water gives the same effect of excessive distillation, and if I hadn't been the one to do it I would have been tricked as well.
Try it.

what's the point of expensive vodka when it all tastes the same ice cold. literally put ice cubes in that shit and its all the same. i dont get it.
Good vodka has practically no taste at all. It's quality is from being smooth and not overpowering what you mix it with. His vodka does that. And the bottle is cool.
Vodka is basically russian moonshine. The only difference between vodka and Everclear is the proof - add water to Everclear, viola, you have vodka. It's ethanol and water, and "flavor" is added via flavorings, or impurities. Dan's vodka is marketed as "clean", so it's basically watered down Everclear, in a cool bottle.
The honest truth here is, you're paying for a cool bottle.
He owns a fifth of the rights. He, Murray, Ramis (now his estate, it would be assumed), Reitman, and Columbia/Sony own the rights to the franchise. Anything Ghostbusters, they all get a cut and a say. Aykroyd has never been shy about talking about the inner workings of the industry.
"I have one-fifth of the voice, along with the partners and the other owner of the property, the picture company, and Ivan, Billy [Murray], and myself, and Harold [Ramis]. We all have to sign off on it unanimously — uh, I’m not sure Billy does anymore, since he abrogated his rights by sort of, by saying, two years ago he said, “I don’t want to be involved,” and the picture company I think had some clause in there that if he actually passed on the third of fourth offer, he no longer has a view of the franchise. So, that’s for the lawyers to decide. Of course, I’d love to have Billy call me tomorrow and say, “Let’s go to work and start writing.”
That's why he never talks shit about the awful chick version. He has a financial stake in it. Wanna complain about the shameless merchandising of the Ghostbusters? Talk to Dan. He, along with Reitman and Murray and Sony, signed off on all of it, because they get paid.
I've never read that, do you have a link to him saying that?
Never mind, I answered my own question. The rights to the franchise are owned by Sony, they formed a subsidiary called "Ghost Corps" that Reitman and Aykroyd run. So they draw a paycheck and probably points of anything done by Ghost Corps and licenses they sell, but Sony owns it all.
So that's why Dan won't talk smack about Feig's abomination. He works for the company that made it. Because when it was him, Ramis, and Murray, nothing got done.
>That's why he never talks shit about the awful chick version.
He DID start badmouthing the production once the movie tanked.
Well, he's back to kissing Feig's ass, as of yesterday, on Rogan's podcast.
Okay. Haven't listened that yet. But previously he sounded very disappointed that the production company did not follow his ideas, and did expensive reshoots, which Dan apparently foresaw as problematic on the script stage already.
better question, what is vodka?
Oh, he's back on the plantation. He's all in, for the new one Reitman's son is making. But it makes sense now, his paycheck depends on it.
I want to live in Dan Aykroyd's life. He's rich enough to not be bothered by much, does what he wants, believes anything anyone tells him, and seems happy believing every ufo, bigfoot and ghost story is real. I love Dan. He used to be one the funniest motherfuckers on the planet, and he's just a nice fucking dude. I'm not mad at him. He's playing the Hollywood game, and he's been going back to the well since that awful coneheads movies, but damn it, he wrote Ghostbusters and Blues Brothers. I'll never live in his world, but the glimpses we get - he's the happiest dude on the planet.
