5 times. Filtered 9 times, taste tested 3 times.
Russian Standard Vodka is distilled 4 times
it is distilled through a rectification column, hence it is impossible to say exactly how many times it was distilled.
Grey Goose is distilled 5 times. It is a 5 step distillery process in a state of the art distillery.
There are about 97 calories in a standard serving (a shot) of triple distilled vodka.
Since vodka (at least Russian vodka) is produced using the process of rectification, meaning continuous distillation through a rectification column, it really doesn't matter how many times it was distilled, since after the distillation the strongest possible spirit is obtained (approx. 95% spirit volume). One can distill this spirit infinite number of times after that but neither the result, nor the quality will change. What is important in vodka production is the quality of water which is added to dilute the spirit to make it 40% ABV and the filtration system that the distillery has.
One ounce of vodka does not contain any sugar, as distilled spirits like vodka do not contain added sugars.
There are no carbohydrates in vodka or any other distilled spirit (gin, tequila, rum, etc.).

As it was explained to me at the Jameson Distillery in Ireland, triple distillation involves three distillation steps. Distillation involves heating a liquid that has alcohol in it to the point that the alcohol (which boils at a lower temperature than water) evaporates and is captured before it condenses back into the liquid from which it came. Second and third distillations heat the captured alcohol under narrower and narrower heat ranges to make sure that only the alcohol remains. Many impurities are removed by this process and the result is a much smoother liquor. All Irish whiskey is triple distilled. Scotch whiskey is double distilled and most Bourbon (sour mash) is only distilled once (however there are notable exceptions). In a taste test many years ago several bartenders were given several different vodkas (without knowing which one was which). Which one won? Pure grain alcohol (200 proof) was the winner. But you can't buy it because 1) it can cause alcohol poisoning very quickly, and 2) it is extremely flammable. Triple distilled vodka should exhibit the same smooth character as triple distilled Irish whiskey.
Vodka is low in purines compared to many other alcoholic beverages. Purines are compounds found in certain foods and drinks that can lead to increased uric acid levels in the body. Since vodka is distilled and made from grains or potatoes, it contains minimal purine content. However, it's essential to consume alcohol in moderation, as excessive drinking can still have negative health effects.
