The origins of the original premium vodka go back to the beginning of the 20th century in Russia.
See the historyStoli® Vodka was craft before craft was a thing. We combine ultra-modern distilling of the highest quality spirit with century old traditions to create the bold character of THE Vodka.
Stolichnaya® controls every aspect of making its vodka — from the selection of the wheat and rye grains, to planting, harvesting, distillation and bottling. This is unique in the vodka industry and guarantees the consistency in quality in each and every bottle produced.
Our distillery in Russia produces the highest quality spirit possible by removing all of the volatile “heads” and oily “tails”. This “narrow cut” is the purest alcohols from the heart of the run. The amount of heads and tails that Stoli® Vodka throws away is up to 4 times greater than most other European distilleries. This tight control of the cut allows us to distill just 3 times, and filter just 4 times with the benefit that we retain the subtle taste and character of the fine Russian wheat.
The spirit travels from Russia to Latvia to the Latvijas Balzams, a cathedral to vodka built by order of the Tsar in 1901. It’s filtered only 4 times — through Russian birch charcoal and quartz sand and finally blended with artesian well water to create premium vodka of unsurpassed smoothness and bold taste.
Stoli® Vodka has been mixed in cocktails by the most innovative bartenders for the greatest presidents, the finest actors and the wildest musicians.
