Stolichnaya Elit Edition

Made with single source grain harvest at our Kerchinskoye Estate and using cutting-edge technology inspired by ancient Vodka-making techniques, Elit pushes the limits of what it means to be vodka.

Our Lands

The story begins at our Kerchinskoye Estate in Russia’s Tambov region.

The envied land was chosen specifically for its fertile black soil – an idyllic environment for growing ultra-high quality grain.

Single Source Grain

Each harvest of grain is carefully inspected before it is accepted into the distillery.

Then, they are slowly fermented before being distilled three times. This grates a spirit so pure that no traces of methanol can be found.

Mineral Rich Waters

The distilled spirit travels to the famed Latvijas Balzams facility in Riga, Latvia.

Here is where it is blended with artesian well water from deep bellow the earth.

Purification

The spirit is then filtered through super-fine quartz sand to begin the removal of impurities.

Next, the flow rate is accurately set through Russian birch wood charcoal to optimize the filtered, untainted spirit.

Freeze Filtration at -18°C

Inspired by ancient vodka making techniques, the spirit goes through our signature freeze-filtration process at -18°C.

The super-chilled spirit is then passed at an ultra-slow velocity through ion-charged filters and is allowed to rest.
