Stefanof Imperial Vodka Bot.1970s — Italian-Made Faux-Russian Curiosity
Plain 40% ABV ABV Stefanof (Italy)A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you Characterful in a way modern vodka rarely is — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Smooth and rounded with a waxy texture from bottle ageing and the grain character shines through. The mellow warmth and fading grain notes. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Stefanof (Italy).
