HOPE WILL NEVER BE SILENT

Released on Harvey Milk Day, Stoli®’s Limited Edition bottle, was designed to celebrate the life and legacy of Harvey Milk—commemorating the 40th anniversary of Milk taking office in 1978 as the first openly gay elected official in California. The bottle’s label was inspired by Paraguayan artist Oz Montania’s mural featuring the famed Milk quote, “Hope will never be silent.” The bottle was part of the brand's Raising the Bar program, which supports LGBTQ partner organizations, including the Harvey Milk Foundation

UNCOMPROMISING

OUR TECHNIQUE

Stoli® is where tradition meets the cutting edge—producing unbeatable consistency and quality in every bottle. We are one of the few who truly control the entire manufacturing process, from the farming of the wheat and rye, to distribution of the finished product.

And that’s how we live life on the top shelf.

UNCHANGING

PRODUCTION

What goes into Stoli®? One delicious May-December romance! That is, spring and winter wheat perfectly balanced and hand-selected to create our signature subtle flavor. Throw a little rye in on the action and you’ve created a vodka with character.

UNSURPASSED

NARROW CUT

When we say Stoli® is in a class of its own—we mean it literally. We only select the purest alcohols, called the narrow cut, by discarding the harsher heads and the oily tails from the heart of the run. Our ultra-modern distillery allows only three distillations and four filtrations. That, results in a spirit so smooth, authorities created a class to honor it: The Alpha Spirit.

UNCHAINED

OUR CATHEDRAL

Stoli® can’t be contained unless you’re willing to do it in style.

Stoli® is produced in the historic Latvijas Balzams, a cathedral to vodka built by order of the Tsar in 1901. It’s then filtered through birch and quartz sand and finally blended with artesian well water to create the vodka people have loved and enjoyed for the last 80 years.
