Tasting Notes

Nose

Mellow and softened by decades, with a gentle sweetness, faint vanilla, and a subtle oxidative quality. Characterful in a way modern vodka rarely is.

Palate

Smooth and rounded with a waxy texture from bottle ageing. Gentle grain sweetness and a warmth that speaks to an era of less aggressive distillation techniques.

Finish

Medium-length with a gentle, mellow warmth and fading grain notes.

Expert Review

7/10

Stefanof Imperial Vodka is a charming period piece — an Italian-made vodka from the 1960s, dressed up in Russian-style branding. The spirit has mellowed beautifully with age, offering a drinking experience that is fascinatingly different from anything produced today. A collector's delight.

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).
