Stolichnaya

Sort By:

Price $60

Aroma is dry, clean, and grainy, with background notes of parchment and litchi; later passes offer semisweet, mildly smoky/ashy scents of charcoal and smoldering embers. Palate entry is firm, moderately oily, bittersweet; at midpalate concentrated and spicy grain flavors mingle adroitly with the smoky, sap- and resin-sweet birch-charcoal filtering influence… — P.P.

Stolichnaya Gold

Price $28

This mellow, balanced vodka is at its best when well chilled and paired with smoked salmon or other savory bites. Perky anise note, citrusy finish and slightly viscous feel. — K.N. (6/1/2012)

Stolichnaya Chocolat Razberi

Price $27

The photo on the frosted-glass bottle is drool-inducing: a raspberry dripping with chocolate. On the palate, luscious notes of raspberry and cocoa linger, and the dessert-like aroma beckons from a half-foot away. Mix it with pomegranate juice and lemon, served in a martini glass. — K.N.

Stolichnaya Stoli Citros Citrus Flavored Vodka

Best Buy

Price $22

Opening whiffs provide ample evidence of the presence of both lemon and lime riding in tandem; the aroma fades noticeably in the extra minutes of aeration. Palate entry is seamless and attractive; the midpalate is especially savory as the lemon/lime duo comes off as crisp and tart. Aftertaste accents the tartness of the citrus without being astringent or harsh. — P.P. (11/15/2003)

Stolichnaya Stoli Cranberi Cranberry Flavored Vodka

Best Buy

Price $22

First inhalation stamps the impression of ripe, fresh cranberry; with further time in the glass, the cranberry settles down. Palate entry is subtle as the ripe cranberry essence emerges at the end of the first taste wave; by midpalate, the flavor becomes graceful as the cranberry taste turns ripe, sweet and juicy, but neither cloying nor domineering. Aftertaste is… — P.P. (11/15/2003)

Stoli Blueberi Blueberry Flavored Vodka

Best Buy

Price $20

The blueberry muffin perfume is alluring. The palate entry is delightfully fruity, berry-like and fresh; the midpalate stage reflects the careful merging of the fruit essence with the neutral grain spirit. A more than worthy addition to the already fine Stoli flavored portfolio. — P.P. (9/1/2007)

Stolichnaya Vodka

Price $24

Smooth and cocktail worthy, this vodka has a neutral scent with a very faint malty note, a crisp, lightly sweet flavor and a clean finish. An excellent choice for those who prefer vodka martinis. — K.N. (6/1/2012)

Stolichnaya 100 Proof Vodka

Online Exclusive

Price $26

The growing category of high-proof spirits is not for everyone, and, frankly, most will find this vodka too strong. However, bartender types will want it for infusions. Expect a bracing touch of alcohol on the nose and palate, sweet, faint lemon and lime notes and a lightly effervescent feel. — K.N. (6/1/2012)
