Top-of-the-range Stolichnaya expression Elit just got more exclusive, as the brand announced the launch of its 'pristine water series'.

Starting with The Himalayan Edition, the limited-edition Elit series will consist of a number of vodkas made with water from different sources, with a second planned for next year.

The water to make this initial vodka is from Langtang National Park in the Himalayan Mountain Range. Only 300 bottles of this edition have been made, available around the world and going for $3,000 each.
