Considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were lush with exotic fruits, but none quite so exotic as the rare white pomegranate. Fast-forwarding through history a few thousand years, Stolichnaya is pleased to introduce Stolichnaya White Pomegranik, the first vodka made with the natural flavor of the elusive white pomegranate varietal.
Available nationwide beginning in May 2010, White Pomegranik is Stolichnaya’s eleventh flavor innovation and a complement to a range of vodkas that have become bar essentials.
“The launch of Stolichnaya White Pomegranik signifies yet another first for this visionary brand and the vodka industry,” said Andrey Skurikhin, partner at SPI Group, brand owner. “Stolichnaya has pioneered the flavored vodka category, using only the highest quality ingredients that result in truly authentic flavor profiles like Stoli White Pomegranik.”
White pomegranate has an impeccable pedigree. Able to trace its roots back to antiquity, this intriguing fruit was revered as sacred and prized by notables from monks to monarchs. Rarer than the more commonly known red varietal, white pomegranate has fewer tannins and is less tart. Well-balanced and with less acidity, Stoli White Pomegranik is set apart by its natural sweetness and exceptional freshness.
On the nose, Stoli White Pomegranik offers an authentic musky-sweet, earthy aroma of ripe pomegranate, buoyed by bright undertones of cherry and red berries. Innately elegant and versatile, White Pomegranik’s sophisticated, subtle flavor profile makes it a perfect pour whether sipped solo or blended in cocktails.
