Stolichnaya vodka is a vodka from Russia. While others have tried to imitate Russian vodka production techniques, they have never totally succeeded. There are three key elements that separate Stolichnaya vodka from its imitators. First, Stolichnaya is distilled from winter wheat, which is the best tasting wheat, not from corn or other grains. Produced in the oldest distillery in Russia, its is considered the classic vodka from Russia. Second, virtually all domestic vodka producers use processed water to reduce the product to its proper proof, while the makers of Stolichnaya use the purest softest glacial waters. Last Stolichnaya vodka is carefully filtered through both quartz and activated charcoal, then through quartz again.
This vodka is of spectacular smoothness and clarity that outshines all others when served straight. Straight serving is a tradition from Russia. It also mixes beautifully with juices, tonics and sodas.
