Stolichnaya Elit Vodka

Stolichnaya Elit Vodka (also styled as elit™ by Stolichnaya) is an award-winning, ultra-premium vodka that represents the pinnacle of modern spirits craftsmanship. Distilled three times from single-source winter wheat and a touch of rye, the raw spirit is blended with pure artesian well water drawn from deep beneath the earth in Latvia. The defining step of Elit is its patented −18°C freeze-filtration process, which is inspired by the ancient Russian tradition of leaving casks out in the winter cold. This intensive process crystalizes and filters out any micro-impurities, resulting in a spirit of unparalleled clarity, structure, and velvety smoothness.

Food Pairing: Pairs exquisitely with high-quality caviar, smoked salmon blinis with crème fraîche, oysters on the half shell, or premium cured meats.

TASTING NOTES - Crystal clear with a bright, luminous appearance and an incredibly silky, plush, and full-bodied mouthfeel.

NOSE - Extremely clean and fresh with subtle notes of citrus peel, sweet vanilla, wet slate, and a soft, grain-forward aroma with a hint of warm baking spices.

PALATE - Exceptionally smooth and velvety, revealing delicate flavors of lemon custard, sweet grain, and clean minerals, with a faint peppery warmth from the rye.

FINISH - Clean, crisp, and wonderfully prolonged with a cooling mineral sensation, a whisper of vanilla cream, and zero harsh burn.

SERVE - Best served neat and chilled, on the rocks, or as the luxurious base for a dry Martini garnished with a twist of lemon peel.
