Stoli Gold is the top tier of the range, and the interest is in how it is filtered. The base is Alpha Grade spirit, the highest Russian classification, which is then passed through shungite, a rare form of carbon whose hollow spherical molecules absorb impurities without stripping the mineral balance out of the liquid.
The vodka is then filtered a second time through coils of gold thread. Gold has been valued for millennia for its warmth and lustre, and as a filtration medium it subtly amplifies depth, enhances softness and harmonises the finished spirit.
The result is a rich, notably soft vodka that rewards being served plainly. Chill the bottle thoroughly and pour it neat in a small glass, or build a martini where the spirit is the point rather than the base. The 1L bottle makes it a considered gift and a serious addition to a home bar.
