Freeze Filtered at -18 °C for the Ultimate in Perfection Created in 2003 with single-source grain harvested at our Kerschinskoye Estate in Tambov, Russia, and using cutting-edge technology inspired by ancient vodka-making traditions, elit™ pushes the limits of what it means to be a vodka. With a platinum score of 97-points from the Beverage Tasting Institute, elit vodka is one of the world’s highest-rated white spirits.
OUR LANDS The story begins at our single-estate in Russia’s Tambov region. This envied land was chosen specifically for its fertile black soil – an idyllic environment for growing ultra-high quality grain.
SINGLE SOURCE GRAIN Each harvest of grain is carefully inspected before it is accepted into the distillery. Then, they are slowly fermented before being distilled three times to create a spirit so pure that no traces of methanol can be found.
MINERAL RICH WATERS The distilled spirit travels to the famed Latvijas Balzams facility in Riga, Latvia where it is blended with artesian well waters from deep below the earth.
PURIFICATION The spirit is then filtered through super-fine quartz sand to begin the removal of impurities. Next, the flow rate is accurately set through Russian birch wood charcoal to optimise the filtered, untainted spirit.
FREEZE-FILTERED AT -18 °C To ensure perfection, the spirit goes through our signature freeze-filtration process at -18˚C. The super-chilled spirit is then passed at an ultra-slow velocity through ion-charged filters and is allowed to rest.
HIGHLY-RATED The spirit is now ready to be bottled by hand. The distinctive bottle holds a visible luminosity as remarkable as the liquid inside. As one of the highest-rated white spirit in the world, the result is flawless clarity, a rolling mouthfeel and a presence in the glass unlike any other.
