Normal vodka is diluted industrial ethanol. A very diverse range of spirits are bottled from the same train tanker cars of industrial ethanol, optionally adulterated with flavoring and coloring. I used to have friends that ran a bottling plant for state-wide distribution of several hundred well-known brands. All of their alcohol came from ADM in bulk. Not all spirits are produced this way but the vast majority are. The quality of the ethanol stock is essentially identical.
