Stolichnaya Elit

Tastes like I’m drinking water out of a creek. With a little alcohol feel

Wow. This gets 4 stars for being a vodka that actually...tastes good. Yeah I know, its weird. The usual rubbing alcohol nose, and rubbing alcohol finish, but the middle part...on the tongue....theres a hint of minerality like only a great copper pot still can convey. A hint of something clean, bright and balanced before it disappears back into the stripped-down clinically clean devoid of all character world that vodka resides in. And this is indeed a rare feat. I will sing this vodkas praises for accomplishing that which seems un-accomplishable. Making Vodka Great FInally. MVGF. Hard to say. Not really a good hat or slogan but still...

To me, this is the Gold Standard of Vodkas. If it were'nt for the $60 price, here in Ontario, this would be the only vodka I would buy. Occasionally, it goes on sale for $50 and I'll splurge and buy a bottle. I drink my vodka on the rocks with a few olives or a twist of lemon. When drinking Stoli Elit, you know you are drinking the best. I prefer wheat vodkas and this is the finest example I know of.
