Of course, Al, if you pootle on down to the Kilmington Farm Shop, you can buy vodka made from milk (whey, actually)...."Black Cow" vodka, West Dorset's finest!

Took a couple of bottles to Russia once. The Moscow Journalists' verdict was "Very nice....bring some more". On Sakhalin, a slightly more robust verdict of "A good vodka for girls to drink, maybe". :-)
