This outspoken original has set the benchmark for authentic premium Russian vodka?unmatched heritage honed for today’s connoisseur. Recognized in its homeland as a benchmark for excellence, Russian Standard Original owes its name and quality to Dmitri Mendeleev’s classic formula, commissioned by Tsar Alexander III for optimum balance and purity. Its combination of traditional wheat taste?from the hardy winter wheat of the Russian steppes?and remarkable clarity?from the soft glacial waters of the frozen north?make Russian Standard Original a perfect vodka to sip neat or as your preferred spirit for a long drink. Russian Standard has come to epitomize vodka in the spirit’s motherland, and in the process become an iconic symbol of modern Russian life and dynamism. The dramatic bottle design, inspired by the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in the heart of Moscow, evokes Russia’s Imperial past, and the vital role that vodka plays in Russia’s most elegant traditions. Striking a balance between Russian heritage and the energy of modern life, Russian Standard Original is a masterpiece of technology, passion and craftsmanship.

The production process includes four principal stages-mashing and fermenting, distillation and rectification, filtration and relaxation, and bottling and packaging. Russian Standard vodka is made from wheat grown on the Russian steppes. This wheat is ideal for vodka production, as it grows very slowly, accumulating valuable proteins in the process. Vodka made from such grain is characterized by its high quality and excellent taste. Pure, soft glacial water from the frozen north of Russia is used to dilute alcohol. The waters of Lake Ladoga and the Upper Neva have always been considered the softest and most appropriate for the production of Russian national drinks. Multiple distillations allow for achieving an absolute purity of spirit. Filtered through charcoal and-in the case of Imperia, quartz-as many as four times, Russian Standard vodka is cleansed from all impurities. By precisely matching the standard of 40% alcohol by volume, measured in accordance with Professor Mendeleev's formula, all Russian Standard vodkas meet the exact criteria for creating authentic Russian vodka.
