elit by Stolichnaya PWS Andean Edition: A Limited Edition Vodka of Unprecedented Perfection

Unleashing the Subtle Tastes of Exemplary Vodka

This Pristine Water Series Andean edition uses water from the crystal clear waters of Colico Lake in the La Araucania Region of Chile from a natural spring flowing from the foothills of the Andes Mountains. JDO Brand & Design took inspiration from the native woods and the metal textile designs of the local Mapuche tribe who attribute their great health to the pure water in Colico Lake.

The elit by Stolichnaya PWS Andean Edition is the epitome of liquid perfection. This highly limited edition vodka captures the unrelenting pursuit of excellence as the vodka maker explores and brings to life the subtle tastes of exemplary vodka. With only 250 bottles set for global distribution, this new spirit is the jewel in the crown of a series of unique vodkas of unprecedented perfection and exclusivity.

The design of the elit Pristine Water Series is a testament to the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and luxury. The hand-cut crystal bottle is designed to refract light and enhance the liquid's clarity, creating a mesmerizing visual experience. Each exquisite bottle is sealed with a silver medallion overlaid with gold and crowned with a ruby, depicting the elit by Stolichnaya flame. Nestled in a sustainable Chilean Black Cherry wood case lined with leather, the presentation of this vodka is nothing short of extraordinary.

The attention to detail in the design extends to the packaging as well. The outer box, a custom-made shipping box, is opened by a discreet red tag on the back, revealing a magnetic closure. The bottle and presentation box are secured separately inside for safe carriage. The wooden presentation box, opened by a clasp at the rear of the two halves, slides apart on a slanted plane, echoing the slant of the bottle design, to reveal the bottle itself. It's a moment of anticipation and elegance.

The elit by Stolichnaya PWS Andean Edition was showcased at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, France, underlining the importance of global travel retail to this most unique of vodkas. A brand film, created by JDO, premiered in Cannes to support the launch of the final series. From its inception in December 2013 to its availability in global travel retail and high-end retailers in December 2014, this project has been a labor of love and dedication.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the elit by Stolichnaya PWS Andean Edition was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in 2016. This prestigious award is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence, innovation, and artistic skill. The design showcases a remarkable level of craftsmanship and introduces a sense of wonder and amazement.

The elit by Stolichnaya PWS Andean Edition is not just a vodka; it's a work of art. With its limited availability and unparalleled design, it is a testament to the pursuit of perfection and the celebration of the extraordinary. Raise a glass to the Andean Edition and indulge in the ultimate expression of elit by Stolichnaya.
