Which cold vodka pairs best with sturgeon roe

I am putting together a tasting flight for a few friends this weekend. Everyone keeps telling me that chilled vodka is the old traditional standard, but there are so many brands on the shelf. Does the brand actually make a difference to the roe? What kind of bottle should I look for at the store?

You definitely want something crisp and clean without any artificial flavorings. Choosing the best vodka for caviar comes down to neutral spirits made from wheat or rye. Keep the bottle in your freezer for hours so it turns thick and ice-cold. A freezing cold sip cuts right through the rich oils of the fish eggs and cleanses your palate nicely. You take a small bite of roe, let the beads pop against the roof of your mouth, and then take a tiny sip. Avoid sweet or citrus-infused bottles because they completely ruin the natural mineral finish. It is a timeless pairing for a reason.
