Yep!

The vast majority of people don't know or really care that after
distillation there are no sugars or carbs. The whole no carb thing is
bandwagon crap, it just seems to appeal to people I meet. I, however do
care what is in my drink. I used to not be able to drink spirits or wine
(never liked beer) until Maurice Kanbar started hyping his vodka (Skyy) and
educating the buying public on congeners. Congeners are those nasty little
devils that made me sick after a single drink. I found out I had bad
reactions (massive hangover) to sulfites. I have been a loyal Skyy drinker
because I like the buzz, I like not getting sick and it has been about the
only product available for people like me. Mind you I drink the stuff on
the rocks or I like to infuse it with herbs/spices like rosemary and
vanilla beans. I have tried dried fruit but find some are full of
preservatives that make me ill the next day. Adding juice, fruits or other
mixers just amp up the impurity and carb/sugars intake that I want to avoid.

I was introduced to S Guaro at a party as being a very pure product. I did
not try it right away. I did some extensive checking and after I was
convinced I tried it I have no negative reactions to it (un like my last
post) and find it to taste a million times better than Skyy or Grey Goose,
the only other vodka I am comfortable with. It is priced a little higher
than the others but for me it is worth it.
I've made some amazing drinks to pair with dinner instead of wine so for me
this stuff is a god send.

This is going to turn into a nasty thread I can tell from past posts so
goodnight all!
I hope at least one person who drinks will find something useful or will
care enough to do their own research.
As my teenagers like to say WHATEVER!
