Elit Vodka, also known as Stolichnaya Elit, is a super-premium vodka produced by the Latvijas Balzams distillery in Riga, Latvia. Elit is made using winter wheat and pure artesian well water, along with a proprietary freeze-filtration process that is said to enhance the vodka’s purity and smoothness. The vodka is known for its exceptionally smooth and clean taste, with a subtle sweetness and a creamy texture. It is often praised for its versatility and ability to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Elit Vodka has been a perennial medalist at international spirit competitions. The BTI Judging Panel described Elit Vodka as featuring: Aromas of vanilla, lemongrass, and fresh cotton on the nose. The palate features similar flavors along with aromas of crisp alpine air, lemon zest, and cotton. Hard pressed to find a vodka that is cleaner and more neutral in flavor and aroma as well as free of any distillation flaws or alcohol burn.
