...be turned into high-quality vodka through charcoal filtration. Busted Through a double-blind taste test, the cheap vodka seemed to taste better with every subsequent filtration, although the top-shelf vodka beat them all. However, a chemical analysis showed no actual difference between the filtered and unfiltered cheap vodka.

He He....good 'ole Mythbuster's to the rescue.
Does filtering cheap vodka through a Brita filter really work? - Spirits - Chowhound
There's some more reading here for ya.
Edit *** No real difinitives, but I do stand behind using it for burning in Headers.

I tried a really good one while on a ski trip in Colorado in March. It is Colorado vodka. It was about 30 in the ski area, so I would imagine it would be closer to twenty anywhere else. Then again, that is the only place I've ever seen it. One of the best I've tasted

My vote:
Doesn't taste like antifreeze and not Grey Goose expensive.

FWIW, I drink Tito's at home when I'm having it straight - direct from the freezer, no ice, chilled glass. For mixing, damn near anything goes but we use Smirnoff(about $13) for the wife's Cosmos or with tonic.

OK. Put a little more work into this. Talked with a friend that fancies himself a Vodka guy. Told him cheap and good. Answers.
Sveda, Sobieski and... drum roll please....Tito's.
