STOLICHNAYA Vodka ORIGINAL 70 cl / 40 % Lettland

The basis for Stolichnaya Vodka is rye and wheat from Russia. After a 60-hour fermentation, a fourfold distillation process and multiple filtering follow. Originally produced in Moscow, the distillery is now located in Riga (Latvia).

Stolichnaya is a world-famous Russian vodka that was first distilled in Moscow in 1956. With an annual production of more than 15 million cases, it is considered the world's best-selling vodka, ahead of Smirnoff and Absolut. Today Stolichnaya is no longer produced in Russia. The current distillery is located in Latvia and belongs to the SPI Cyprus group. However, the ingredients for Stolichnaya still come from Russia, so some fans still speak of Russian vodka. The basis is rye and wheat as well as water from artesian wells near the cities of Samara and Kaliningrad. The fermentation lasts 60 hours, followed by a fourfold distillation process. The distillate is then filtered several times through quartz sand, activated carbon and linen.
