Staritsky Levitsky Reserve Vodka

About Staritsky Levitsky Reserve Vodka

Staritsky Levitsky Reserve Vodka is a subtle, refined dram that celebrates heritage and history. It's distilled in the ancient Ukrainian town of Lviv, using premium grains from the local black earth and crystalline spring water from the Carpathian Mountains. Its unmistakably sophisticated character was conjured up a century ago when a local distiller came up with the secret recipe. To make each batch as fine as possible, Master Distiller creates a new blend, distills it five times, and purifies it four times. Then, vodka rests in stainless steel tanks for a month to get a full-bodied character.

Staritsky Levitsky bets on tradition and authenticity, and Lviv is the perfect place to make high-quality vodka. Not just for its closeness to Carpathian spring water and unique grains, but also for its heritage of making vodka. (The first distillery in the town opened in 1782!) And the name? Staritsky was a cultural leader, and Levitsky was an entrepreneur; both helped Lviv become one of the Habsburg empire's most important cultural and economic cities.

About Vodka

Historians are not clear on the exact origin of vodka since different sources link its beginning to both Russia and Poland. But one thing is clear: this somewhat simple spirit, first used as a medicinal concoction, has become one of the most versatile drinks in the world.

It can be distilled from any type of grains, potatoes, or even grapes worldwide. Due to its simplicity, this unaged spirit's main flavor factor is the quality of water and the ingredients used in the distillation process.

Primarily used in cocktails, vodka can also stand its ground when enjoyed neat.
