First launched in California in mid-2004, Stolichnaya Elit is made from Russian Alpha Spirit distilled from winter wheat and filtered through quartz sand, Siberian birch charcoal and cloth filters. It is then flash-chilled to -18°C and passed through ion-charged filters to ensure its purity.

All Stolichnaya vodkas are made using Alpha Spirit, the highest grade of spirit recognised by the Russian authorities. However, Elit is set apart from other Stolichnaya vodkas due to the freeze filtration process the spirit undergoes.

Stolichnaya Elit is packaged in a tall, slim, clear bottle with Cyrillic print. The black, tapered neck is crowned with a heavy metal screw-cap.
