By employing a unique blend of centuries-old vodka making traditions, passionate attention to detail and state of the art distilling techniques, Russian Standard has created a portfolio of Russian premium vodkas unrivalled anywhere in the world.

In 1894, Professor Dmitri Mendeleev established the absolute Standard for vodka distillation, proclaiming the perfect balance of 40% ABV.

In 1998, after years spent witnessing the motherland abandon its vodka producing heritage, Russian Standard made history by launching a brand new, premium vodka, distilled and bottled exclusively in Russia using only the finest Russian ingredients. Less than ten years later, Russian Standard Vodka is the Number 1 Premium Vodka in its homeland, commanding 60% volume share, and is already growing rapidly around the world.

Russian Standard opened its ultra modern St Petersburg distillery in 2006. The only company with 100% control over its total vodka production, Russian Standard ensures all of its vodkas are produced and bottled to outstanding quality and perfection. Russian Standard vodkas take production to even higher levels than those demanded by Mendeleev's formulation by combining the finest, hand-selected wheat from the black soil of the Russian Steppes with the pure, glacial waters of Lake Ladoga. By distilling four times and using a unique, innovative filtration process for each Russian Standard Vodka, the result is a classic Russian spirit with an exceptionally pure, smooth taste.
