As an old Vodka fan, I used to hear stories about how, in Russia, Stolichnaya (my traditional brand of choice) was considered "crap", and how the really good Russian vodkas were a light carmel tint and kept for their own use incountry.

Does anyone know the truth of this? Is this just another barroom folktale?
