I prefer flavoured brands myself and I can recommend you all the famous 'Zubrowka'

Lucasz, you neglect to mention the absolutely splendid Wisniowka (cherry vodka), and also Sliwowicza (sp?) (plum brandy).

The former is drunk cold, neat and far too quickly. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially as a winter drink.

The latter is on a par with poteen again. Demonic stuff, but you start tasting the plums after about the third glass.

Sto lat!
