Russian Standard Description
An incredible CONVERGENCE
The incredible. It’s not just an adjective. It’s an action… a process… an evolution … like the creation of our ultra clean, smooth and delicious Russian Standard Vodka. A vodka that is the result of a complex convergence of science and nature, craft and technology, history and revolution.
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. Mendeleev's perfect equilibrium is ensured by a 48-hour maturation process.

Punchy aromas of white pepper, ginger, and grapefruit peel mingle with soft, warm aromas of vanilla and wheat. Wonderfully smooth and doughy on the palate, with tinges of fruit and vanilla that marry well with black pepper and cocoa nibs on the finish.
