AS GOOD AS GOLD
Stoli Gold harnesses some of the world’s rarest elements for a truly exquisite vodka.

OCIAL MEDIA ISN’T the only place where a well-chosen filter can make things infinitely better. As it turns out, it’s also great for creating some of the world’s best vodka. This holiday season, we can’t think of a better way to raise a toast to 2018 than with a glass (or two) of Stoli Gold. This super-smooth vodka is the very definition of high-end. Don’t believe us? Stoli Gold was the vodka that established the premium vodka category when it was conceived in 1989. Since then it has been a stand-out spirit that ends its journey by being filtered through gold (told you it was special). The proof is in the pudding when it comes to vodka – but it would be remiss of us not to mention the painstakingly precise process that goes into making
this sublime spirit. Stoli Gold harnesses some of the world’s rarest ingredients to create their unmistakable vodka. The 100 per cent Gubernator Dona winter wheat used in Stoli Gold is carefully irrigated from an ecologically pure acquifier lying at a depth of 185 m to guarantee optimum soil conditions and a high-quality crop. Even the water that’s blended with the Single Estate Alpha Grade vodka (the highest grade spirit) is top quality – it’s filtered through shungite, one of the rarest carbons and most remarkable minerals on earth, found only in a remote part of northwest Russia. The blend is then filtered in the traditional Stoli way before a final filtration through coils of gold thread. Stoli Gold has been around for nearly
three decades, but its recent redesign has given the premium vodka a brand new lease of life. The next time you’re in the LCBO, look out for the taller, sleeker looking bottle with its metallic label and signature embossed glass. Because of its fresh aroma with notes of vanilla and citrus, Stoli Gold works well with fruit flavours, like peach in a bellini or club soda with a splash of cranberry. The palate opens up to fresh bread and grain notes, before finishing with a subtle sweetness that gives way to creamy aniseed and spice. Try Stoli Gold with a more booze-forward mix drink like a caipiroska or a dirty martini. Class up your holiday season with this showstopper of a spirit. ● Stoli Gold is available at the LCBO for $34.95. stoli.com
