The whole attraction of vodka is its clean and crisp taste, devoid of impurities. Many high quality vodkas are distilled three or more times to obtain the highest level of purity possible. This results in a cleaner taste and less of a chance of a hangover the next morning.
The cheaper vodkas are not only distilled a minimal amount of times, but they also contain many additives, leading to a "dirty" taste and an aroma similar to rubbing alcohol.
Vodkas made from potatoes tend to have a softer texture and lush mouth feel. Vodkas made from wheat or rye tend to be bigger and fuller, with a heartier flavor and more intense mouth feel.
