Russian Standard is clean, perfectly clear and smooth. Although a premium brand it can often be found on the supermarket shelf with an offer sticker, making it all the more appealing!
It is hard to believe that Russian Standard has only been around since 2007 in the UK. From its first launch it exploded onto the market and firmly positioned itself as a leading premium brand vodka. The brand originally created in 1998 by the Russian Standard company purports itself as being proudly Russian through and through: raw Russian materials as well as distilled and bottled in Russia. Within Russia it has a 40% market share selling more than 3 million cases per year.
Currently a repertoire consisting of the Original, the Gold, the Platinum, and the Imperia, look out for the release of Russian Standard flavours as the owner, Roustam Tariko, has declared war on Smirnoff’s rather large slice of the pie.
