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 Vodka, often referred to as Stoli, is renowned for its smooth and refined taste. It boasts a neutral scent with a very faint malty note, and its flavor profile is crisp and lightly sweet, culminating in a clean finish. This makes it an excellent choice for vodka martinis or other cocktails where a smooth, understated vodka is desired.
