The difference is that Chopin is made from POTATOES rather than from grain like most American and Russian vodkas. Potato vodka is much cleaner and smoother than grain alcohol. I'll leave it to the chemists to sort out why, but to my palate it's a fact.
Try Monopolowa from Austria, another potato vodka. Trader Joe's now gets a special bottling (not their usual fancy label with the Vienna ferris wheel through the bottle) that they sell for about 10 bucks for a full liter (not the usual 750 ml). It's great straight and frozen, on the rocks with a twist (I've got a Meyer lemon tree), or mixed with everything from Clamato to Red Bull.
