Stanislav Luxury is a Polish premium-class clear vodka from the Pravda S.A. brand of Bielsko-Biała, based on rye spirit and water from Beskid mountain springs. The set combines a 0.7 l bottle at 40% ABV with two miniatures of flavoured vodkas, offering the chance to taste different variants alongside the clear vodka.
Behind the brand stands Pravda S.A., a company established in late 2003 in Bielsko-Biała by its American owner, Northon John Cooper. The producer is also responsible for the flagship Pravda Vodka, while Stanislav Luxury is a range aimed at customers who appreciate a more classic, rye profile. The vodka holds kosher status – Stanislav is a kosher vodka, and supervision over compliance with kosher production standards is exercised by the Chief Rabbi of Poland.
The spirit is based on rye spirit and mountain water. It is made from water from mountain springs and rye spirit, with production taking place in the vicinity of the Silesian Beskids. During the process the vodka undergoes fivefold distillation, with the final distillation carried out in old copper. The profile is grainy and dry – tasting notes point to an intense aroma with a distinct grain note and a flavour with a slightly sweetish accent, while according to the producer's description the taste is delicate and balanced, with perceptible notes of Polish grains and an aftertaste of bread yeast.
The two accompanying 50 ml miniatures are flavoured vodkas from the same Stanislav family. The sets in this range feature fruit and dessert variants, including caramel, raspberry, vanilla and mandarin flavours. The 0.7 l format of clear vodka together with the miniatures works well as a tasting set and a gift idea.
