Same here. I'll use it when the drink calls for it (and substitutions don't work) but generally I favor drinks built from gin/bourbon/rye.Oh and not a big vodka fan either. I don't hate it but I do feel like it's unfinished gin.
I mostly figure that vodka is used to add ethanol to the flavor ingredients, so I lean toward 100-proof vodka, and usually a bit less of it, to do that job. But my next White Russian will be with Everclear, as suggested upthread. That should be fun.
