What Stoli does
Stoli is a privately-held global vodka brand owned through Stoli Group S.a.r.l., a Luxembourg-registered holding company (registration B123116), with US distribution via Stoli Group USA, LLC and global distribution through SPI Spirits (Cyprus) Limited. Founded in 1938 and bottled at the historic Latvijas Balsams distillery in Riga, Latvia since 1954, Stoli generates revenue by selling premium and flavored vodkas to two primary segments: (1) individual premium spirits consumers reached through global retail, on-premise hospitality channels and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (stoli.com) fulfilled by licensed third-party retailers in the AccelPay network, and (2) the hospitality and food service channel that uses the brand in cocktail programs. The product portfolio centers on the flagship STOLI Premium vodka, an extensive flavored line (Orange, Raspberry, Blueberry, Vanilla, Cucumber, Citrus, Salted Caramel, Chamoy), the ultra-premium STOLI Gold (filtered through coils of gold thread), STOLI 100 Proof, STOLI Gluten Free (100% beetroot spirit), a non-alcoholic STOLI Ginger Beer mixer, and rotating limited edition releases (Electric Citrus — Tokyo After Dark, Gold Standard, Velvet Nights). The core production technology is a proprietary triple-filtration process through quartz sand and birch activated charcoal, supported by over 100 international awards and 85+ years of brand heritage. Stoli Group USA, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States in 2024, and the brand is currently operating through those proceedings; the parent group has continued to launch new products, including STOLI Halapeño Pepper Vodka in January 2025, and is the subject of an ongoing trademark lawsuit from McIlhenny Company (Tabasco) over that product's packaging.
