Just a question for those who are objecting to the use of vodka:

Several vodka's available on today's market (not the least expensive) are and 
always have been made from grain not potatoes.  Most notably the Ketel One 
Brand which has always (since 1638 when they began production and for 3 
generations of brewmasters prior according to their history) been made from 
wheat.  If this was documented in the entry and noted that this was the brand 
of vodka used, would you still have the same objections to the use of vodka 
in cordials?

I would also note that 3 generations prior to 1638 would seem to put grain 
vodka at least within late period but acknowledge that I could be mistaken in 
this assumption.
