Stoli Razberi takes the robust Stolichnaya wheat-and-rye base and infuses it with natural raspberry flavour, producing a berry vodka with more body and depth than most competitors. The rye component gives it a spice that prevents the raspberry from becoming merely sweet.
The nose is fruity and inviting: ripe raspberry with a subtle grain spice beneath. The palate is smooth — raspberry sweetness balanced by rye spice, with a fuller body than wheat-only flavoured vodkas. The interplay between fruit and grain is well-judged.
The finish is medium, with raspberry and peppery warmth from the rye. Stoli's flavoured range benefits from the more characterful base spirit — where Absolut flavoureds are smooth and neutral, Stoli's retain a grainy backbone that adds complexity. A step up for flavoured vodka cocktails.
