Splendid vodka from Lithuania (won the gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2006), distilled (three times) at the Stumbras distillery (established 1906). This is a grain vodka, wheat definitely playing a major role in the mash bill, though there may be a bit of rye involved (unfortunately I haven't been able to find more about the ingredients; the bottle and the website simply say, "grain"). Beautiful and classic bottle; nice smell; clear, irridescent; very smooth and tasty, with a slightly bitter aftertaste which is not unpleasant. A traditional vodka - highly recommended.
