Stolichnaya, often referred to as Stoli, is a historic vodka brand with origins in the early 20th century, trademarked in 1938 in the Soviet Union. It's produced from a combination of wheat and rye grains. Initially controlled by the state, it was made at Moscow State Wine Warehouse No. 1. The production and control of the brand have seen significant changes, particularly post-Soviet Union dissolution when it was privatized and became part of the SPI Group, owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler.
Stolichnaya Elit Vodka, known for its ultra-premium quality, is crafted with a unique freeze filtration process inspired by traditional methods where casks were left outside in plummeting winter conditions. This process contributes to its exceptional smoothness and purity.
Nose:
The aroma is subtle, primarily presenting a clean and light grain scent, which is quite soft and unobtrusive.
Palate:
In the mouth, Stolichnaya Elit is remarkably soft, almost akin to soft water. There's a mild sweetness that emerges as it rests on the palate, contributing to its smooth and refined character.
Finish:
The finish is clean with a slight grain spice and a very mild alcohol warmth, making it exceptionally easy to drink. It is designed to be neutral, catering to those who appreciate a vodka that does not overpower but rather complements.
Awards:
Stolichnaya Elit Vodka has garnered significant acclaim in the spirits industry, underscored by a series of prestigious awards that highlight its exceptional quality. It has been awarded numerous Platinum Medals by the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) and has consistently earned the title of "Best Vodka of the Year" at various international spirits competitions.
