“We’re looking forward to offering this amazing package to visit the Himalayas, the location of our first limited edition vodka in the pristine water series, with proceeds benefiting our partner Oceana,” said Val Mendeleev, CEO of SPI Group. “It’s a great way for elit(tm) by Stolichnaya(r) to give back to an organization which helps to protect one of the world’s most important resources, our oceans, while also offering our consumers the chance to bid on the trip of a lifetime.”
elit(tm) by Stolichnaya(r) pristine water series: The Himalayan Edition is made from the water of perpetual melting of snow, which travels through countless layers of rock to an underground reservoir, and spirit distilled from the world’s finest winter wheat. As part of the brand’s patented distillation process, the liquid undergoes freeze filtration, a centuries-old technique that elit(tm) by Stolichnaya(r) has modernized, which eliminates any impurities. The liquid then goes through a Z-carbon filter followed by a silver filter, both of which result in a supremely smooth and luxurious vodka.
Each limited edition bottle is made from hand-blown, superior-quality Bohemian glass, sealed with the exquisite gold-plated decorative ice pick and housed in a handsome, individually numbered, hand-made, walnut-carved chest. elit(tm) by Stolichnaya(r) pristine water series: The Himalayan Edition is 40% ABV (80 proof), and retails for $3,000.00 per limited-edition bottle.
“We’re very grateful for the creativity, support and commitment to the oceans that elit(tm) by Stolichnaya(r) demonstrates in putting this package together. The funds raised will help Oceana win more protections for our oceans,” said Matt Littlejohn, Vice President of Marketing & Communications.
