The status quo for vodka is a spirit without color, aroma or taste. However, Roustam Tariko, entrepreneur and founder of Russian Standard Vodka, believes there should be a higher standard of vodka, one that combines extraordinary purity and taste. His passion, perseverance and ingenuity led to the creation of Russian Standard Vodka, a vodka that is made of 100% authentic Russian ingredients – water of glacial origin and the finest winter wheat.

The winter wheat from which this vodka is distilled is immediately evident on the nose as the sweet aroma of cream soda and cut grass rises. There is a definite warmth reminiscent of dry roasted cumin whilst a fresh-bread yeasty note is rather appealing. It’s all quite subtle, but certainly pleasant.
Smooth and very creamy upfront, continuing through the mid palate along with a slightly oily mouth feel until just a touch of spice enters on the finish. A reasonable sweetness increases the overall perception of smoothness, but this is definitely not a harsh tasting vodka and there isn’t a hint of sharpness.

Moscow Mule
Legend has it that the Moscow Mule was served in a copper mug, a variant of the tankard, resembling a coffee mug style. Even though this format has rarely been used throughout the beverage history, the Moscow Mule began being served in a true copper mug, which enhanced its properties as it maintains the drink as cold as possible which is how it must be served. This contributed largely to this vodka’s ascendancy as the world s most popular spirit.
It’s hard to remember a time when vodka wasn’t the popular spirit it is today. The Legend has it that in the 40s, Hollywood discovered vodka thanks to a cocktail that conquered those more discerning palate: vodka with ginger ale served in a copper mug, a variant of the tankard, resembling a coffee mug style.

The Russian Standard Vodka portfolio has grown to reach more than 75 markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
