This famous vodka producer makes the ultra premium Elit using a special process to filter the spirit at sub-zero temperatures reaching a frigid -18̊ C and a density that allows all impurities to be identified and removed. The result is vodka that’s clean and neutral in taste yet with a smooth, creamy texture that’s quite luscious. It finishes sleek with no back bite at all. The bottle is also slim, black topped and elegantly expensive looking. Serve chilled, neat, preferably with caviar. Score: 95 (Margaret Swaine, www.WineAlign.com, Dec 2012)
