Russian Standard Vodka bases its recipe on Professor Dmitri Mendeleev's philosophy of the perfect balance between water and alcohol, which was set by Tsar Alexander III in 1894. Made only in St. Petersburg, Russia, Russian Standard Vodka fuses time-honoured traditions with state-of-the-art distillation.

Glacial water from Lake Ladoga and winter wheat from the Russian Steppes are brought to the state-of-the-art distillery in St. Petersburg where they are then put through a proprietary distillation process more than 200 times to result in an ultra-clean, smooth, and delicious vodka. This product is then filtered using charcoal, quartz, and silver to remove all impurities before the vodka is allowed a resting period in which the liquid is allowed to mature and become even smoother.

The convergence of nature, technology, history, and craft are all condensed into this single, pure vodka. Russian Standard Platinum is the premium version of the already fantastic Russian Standard vodka. It is best appreciated on the rocks or sipped from a shot glass, neat. A good cocktail never goes amiss. Try a Russian Mule made with Russian Standard Platinum and you will not be disappointed. Traditional Russian appetisers are the ideal pairing for such a traditional Russian vodka. Try it with dark bread, pickled vegetables, caviar, and smoked fish.
