Stolichnaya Elit

Stolichnaya Elit was first launched in California in mid-2004 as the pinnacle expression of the Stolichnaya vodka line. Crafted from hand-selected winter wheat sourced from Russia's Tambov region, known for its rich black earth and superior grain quality, Elit distinguishes itself through an innovative freeze-filtration process that sets it apart from standard Stolichnaya vodkas. The spirit begins as Alpha Spirit, the highest grade recognized by Russian authorities, distilled from premium winter wheat and rye. The revolutionary freeze-filtration technique chills the vodka to -18°C before passing it through ion-charged filters, removing the finest impurities while maintaining the spirit's integrity. This meticulous process creates a vodka of extraordinary clarity and refinement. Elit is positioned for the discerning vodka connoisseur who appreciates sipping chilled or crafting transparent cocktails where only the finest vodka will suffice. The extra steps involved in its production double the price of standard Stolichnaya, reflecting the luxury experience it delivers.
