I purchased Imperia Vodka at Costco, LaQuinta, California for $6.97, which I thought was a very good price. Costco no longer stocks Imperia. Would you be kind enough to tell me how I can buy more…….I would purchase minimum of three cases.
Thanks,

I live in St Petersburg and Imperia is a good vodka. According to local newspapers what it says on the Imperia bottle about Mendeleev is untrue. I think the Russian Standard company started in 1998.

Great vodka. My local Trader Joes carries it in 1.75 liters for $29.99. That is equal $12.85 per 750ml. Beat that!! Very, very worth it.

Hands down THE BEST VODKA I have ever tried. I use to like Grey Groose, then a bartender was pushing Imperia and I tried it, never went back. Because I’m in the midwest it’s almost impossible to find it here (I discovered it in South Florida), so whenever I do find a vendor who sells it, it’s like a holiday, lol. Worth every penny, just wish they had a bigger St. Louis, MO market.

I wish I had words to describe the love I have for this superior vodka. I live in pennsylvania, and they only carry it for a few months out of the year, so when I have the money I actually pay the state store to import it for me. It is the best, most luxurious vodka ever made. I love russian vodkas, so obviously I’m gonna love the most smooth, tasty, best buzz ever supplied to the public. If you love vodka, consider yourself a connoisseur of anything premium vodka, then you will love Imperia. Of course I’m writing this as I’m enjoying Imperia, just after close to 3 months without it. Soon as I opened the bottle and consumed my first drink, I fell in love all over again.

Such an amazing vodka. It almost literally goes down like water, so smooth. The Russian Standard Original is amazing as well, and I would say to buy the Original if you are going to mix drinks, because Russian Standard Imperia isn’t meant for mixing, really, and depending on where you buy it from, it can be pricey to mix with.

Just check liquor stores all around, call them to save time, you will find a good, if not great price somewhere, but Imperia was meant for neat drinks, or straight shots no colder than 41 degrees, if you call 41 degrees a straight shot. If it’s much colder than that, it just ruins the feel and taste of the vodka, it gets oily. That goes for any vodka.

Absolutely amazing how smooth it is with that nice subtle taste.

Simply put… The Best Vodka Ever!

Best vodka I’ve ever had hands down. It’s almost a shame to mix this one. You can tell how few impurities it has when you drink it. It’s just beautiful stuff.

I finally had an Imperia martini extra dry up with olives at one of my favorite restaurants last night. In a few words, I would describe Imperia as the Crystal Head of Russian vodkas. The cocktail was extremely smooth, with a mildly bittersweet Russian vodka flavor and a muted Russian style bite. I was very impressed, and would say that the martini was probably the second best I’ve had besides some made with Crystal Head. I am rating Imperia a very large 5 stars.

The ONLY complaint I have about this vodka, is that I was drinking it in screwdriver mixed drinks, and ended up drinking more than I ought to have, simply because it mixed so well. I also found this to be a very attractive bottle for placement on the bar.

Other than Ukrainian Khortytsa vodka, this is my favorite. Like Khortytsa, Imperia is a super sipping vodka at room temperature.

Jeez, I wish I had access to this … I live in South Africa and have limited access to good vodka. My sister went to Russia a while back and got me a bottle of Russian Standard and that was amazing. I would love to try Imperia.

I keep seeing this on the shelf in my local liquor store, and have considered trying it. Like some of the “cheaper” vodkas, this premium brand is also available in single serving 50 ml bottles. I am tempted to buy 2 of these miniature bottles in order to make a martini to see just how great this vodka is without investing an entire 750 ml bottle.

The best vodka I’ve found at any price. Imperia is one of only two vodkas I don’t mix with anything. If you want a ‘mixer’ try a less-perfect vodka. Imperia is as good as it gets; drink it straight. My other ‘no-mix’ vodka is the low-priced Sobieski; it’s clearly a step below Imperia, and yet it’s better than 99% of the stuff out there.

I purchased the biggest bottle of Imperia Russian Vodka for my 4th of July BBQ and it was a big hit… The taste is so smooth you forget you are drinking vodka

Needless to say I let the Goose fly away and I’m now housing Imperia… ttyl

Imperia: simply put, the best vodka I’ve ever tried.

I agree with the other posts that allude to the minimal amount of head-knocking one experiences when waking up in the morning after a long night with this bottle. Imperia is so good you’ll make a Bloody Mary first thing just for the taste of it….

Once again I tried a reviewed Vodka and was blown away by the taste. It is superb.
I keep one good bottle in the freezer for a shot and this is as good as Tito’s…
Thanks again VodkaBuzz

By far my favorite vodka to date. Hardly noticeable in whatever you mix it with (my favorite for it is a touch of tonic and a lime wedge) and great for shots. One of the few that hardly ever gives me a hangover in the morning.

I am also a creature by habit , was hung to grey goose for a long time until my friend who came from Malaysia got this drink. we started the first sip in the afternoon and ended by the whole bottle by the evening. Beauty about this drink is it mixes gleefully with coke,sprite,orange,coconut water.. infact that day we tried all combos and this drink is a sure WINNER.

I should have purchased a couple of the single shot bottles when I had seen them last summer. I haven’t seen them since, and I do not want to spend the premium on a 750ml bottle just to give it a try.

I am and always will be a Stoli or Stoli Cristal drinker. HOWEVER, tonight, third night in a row, I can’t sleep. I had a SEVEN year old bottle of Imperia in the freezer- that has never been opened. Since I have to be at work at 5AM (its 1030pm now)… I just made myself two Lemon drops using the frozen Imperia.
Holy CRAP that is a beautiful drink. The glass was frozen and the lemon juice made ice crystals that were a delicate balance between liquid tartness, and frosty magnificence… I say Nostrovia! to all of you…. now- hoping I can get some zzzzzzs….
