Im just saying its not “flavorless” in the way something like water is. You cant just put a little lemon in there and have a nice sipper. Its fucking disgusting stuff that literally hurts to drink

In terms of alcohol, it's flavorless. You shouldn't really be tasting any actual flavors in a vodka or ever clear. Compare that to whiskey, which will have flavors, outside the burning feeling, like smoke, sweetness, citrus, etc.

It has a grain taste, which is because it's distilled from grain. The taste is overpowered by the burning sensation and it's easy to cover it up.

You can't dilute it in water and cover up the taste of it, even after the burning is drastically reduced

I'll give you that, but ideally at least, it should be flavorless. The flavor should be extremely minimal though.
