Stanislav Luxury is a Polish clear vodka produced by Pravda S.A. in Bielsko-Biała, offered here as a 0.7 l gift set with two shot glasses. The bottle contains a spirit of 40% ABV, based on grain spirit with a predominance of rye.
It is made by the Pravda S.A. distillery, founded in Bielsko-Biała. The vodka is produced from selected sweet grain varieties grown in the Greater Poland region and is distilled six times in columns, then filtered and frozen before bottling, while the water comes from mountain streams. The rye comes from the fields of Greater Poland, and the water from the Potok Żydowski stream in Wapienica, naturally filtered through limestone and shale deposits in the Beskid Mountains. The Stanislav brand shares its spirit base with the Pravda line, but the two differ in technology and profile. The Pravda and Stanislav brands differ in production technology, while the spirit is the same – Pravda is more delicate, whereas Stanislav is bolder, sharper and more classic.
In terms of its sensory profile, Stanislav sits firmly on the side of the traditional rye style. Stanislav Luxury is a range aimed at customers who appreciate a more classic, rye-driven character. Tasting notes point to an expressive nose and a light grainy sweetness. The spirit takes well to being served chilled, in a shot glass; the set with two glasses prepares it for serving neat.
The entire production of Pravda S.A. holds kosher certification, which also applies to the Stanislav line. From the outset, the owner's intention was for all products to carry kosher certification. Each vodka is stabilised and rests for at least 48 hours before bottling.
