Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka, has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations, and several years of fighting Russia in court.The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is "experiencing financial difficulties" and lists between $US50 million ($77 million) and $US100 million ($154 million) in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its US business.Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the US, which loosely translates to "capital city" in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas.
