Stolichnaya Elit Vodka

Stolichnaya elit is the ultra-luxury tier of the Stoli range — a wheat-and-rye vodka refined by birch-charcoal filtration for a clean, grainy, and surprisingly complex character.

elit shows a dry, clean, grainy aroma. The palate entry is firm, moderately oily, and bittersweet; at mid-palate, concentrated and spicy grain flavors mingle adroitly with the smoky, sap- and resin-sweet influence of the birch-charcoal filtering. It concludes sweetly, almost candy-like — a degree of layered character unusual for vodka.

It is best served very cold and sipped neat to appreciate the texture, or used as the clean base of a premium martini.
