Russian Standard Original Vodka (75cl, 40%)

Russian Standard Original is the flagship vodka from Russian Standard Vodka, produced at the brand's distillery in St. Petersburg. It is made from Russian winter wheat and distilled with glacial water from Lake Ladoga, then charcoal filtered. The recipe traces back to 1894, when Dmitri Mendeleev established the official Russian state standard for vodka at 40% ABV, and the bottle carries his 1894 seal. Crystal clear, with light grain and cereal on the nose, a faint hint of vanilla and a whisper of citrus zest. Smooth and dry on the palate, with soft wheat sweetness and a mineral character, finishing short, crisp and clean with a faint grain warmth.
