A Double Gold from San Francisco in 2017 and a Master Medal from The Spirits Business in 2025 bracket nearly a decade of recognition at the highest levels of international spirits judging. The result in the glass is a vodka that achieves genuine smoothness and textural polish while retaining enough character — that mineral edge, those fleeting fruit notes — to reward attentive sipping. For drinkers looking beyond the dominant Scandinavian and Polish vodka brands, Lithuanian Gold represents a compelling entry point into Baltic spirits craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lithuanian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836617322665,"sku":"15261","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Lithuanian-Gold-Vodka__17503.jpg?v=1730463733"},{"product_id":"lithuanian-raspberry-750ml","title":"Lithuanian Raspberry 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLithuanian Raspberry 750ML\u003c\/strong\u003e is a grain-based raspberry-infused vodka bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 750ml format, distinguished by whole authentic raspberries placed inside every bottle.
