A gentle sipper and a wonderful cocktail baseall in one. The red label is the flagship, or the foundation, of thebrand as a whole and is available almost anywhere. This Russian vodkais distilled four times from wheat and rye, mixed with artesial waterfrom the Kalingrad region and filtered through quartz, sand, activatedcharcoal and woven cloth before bottling at 80 proof. This bottle ofStolichnaya is a great example of what to expect from good vodka fromRussia.
Stolichnaya has a lovely aroma - that of a touch of alcoholbacked by notes of warm grain. The entry is bright and airy, leading toa silky palate that melts into awarm vodka taste with a hint of citrus. Stolichnaya finishes quitesmooth, with that vodka bite being almost non-existent and the tastefading relatively quickly.
