Dudes, I'm looking for somewhere in Seoul that sells Stolichnaya elit. Has anyone seen it and if so, do you recall the price? Many thanks y'all.

I saw a bottle of Stoli that cost about 40k last time I was in the black market area at Namdeaemun market. There was a liquor vendor there that had a shelf full of premium vodkas. I didn't really pay any attention to it other than to think that was a lot for a bottle of Stoli-but i didn't see if the brand was Elit. Is that their premium brand?
Anyway, if there's 1 to be had in Seoul, you'll probably find it there. Just wander around the dozen or so liquor vendors and you'll probably see it.

You da man! Whereabouts are the black market booze stores? In where the foreign foodstuffs and bodybuilding powders are sold? Stoli elit is Stoli's premium brand and comes in quite an unusual looking bottle. Tall and slim as opposed to the Russian T-72 tank design of the standard Stoli bottle.

Yes, you go down a set of stairs about 200-300 meters on the right on the same lane you come up from the subway. Do a 180 left at bottom of stairs (past all the smelly meats) and then a right. There are a few vendors right there-the first guy on the left has a good selection but that's not where I noticed the Stoli and i have to tell you that I dont remember the bottle as being tall and skinny-but I was more focused on the Belvedere. Anyway. just wander around that whole area-lots of booze vendors there. Good luck.

Hack, which subway station and exit are we talking about? The place that I'm thinking about is diagonally across from Namdaemun Gate.
