Product Story & Guide
Russian Standard Original is a grain vodka made from Russian winter wheat from the Black Steppes and glacial water from Lake Ladoga. Produced using multi-column rectification (cycling over 200 times), filtered through Russian birch charcoal and Urals Mountain quartz crystals, followed by a relaxation period in tanks before bottling. Launched in 1998. Bottled at 40% ABV. Crystal clear. Packaged in a bell-shaped bottle modeled after the Peter the Great Bell Tower with Russian Orthodox architectural textures embossed in glass.
