Stolichnaya (Stoli)

Annika Svensson — A real discovery from an unexpected region

8/10

I'd never tried anything from this distillery before and I'm genuinely impressed. Beautiful clarity in the glass, complex aromas of fresh herbs and mineral water, and a palate with wonderful weight and a long, clean finish. There's a subtle earthiness that gives it real personality.

The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got soft bread and Clean grain. On the palate, the Medium-bodied with a balanced sweetness is beautifully done, and the Clean and smooth with a short peppery fade. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.

Alex Ramos — Beautifully balanced and versatile

8/10

What strikes me most is the balance. It's clean enough for a classic Martini but has enough body and character to sip neat. Lovely soft texture, hints of anise and white chocolate on the nose, and a palate that's both silky and precise. Equally at home in a cocktail bar or a quiet evening at home.
