Review: Russian Standard Vodka
Russian Standard Vodka was introduced in 1998. It is made with winter wheat from the Russian Steppes and pure glacial water from Lake Lagoda. A proprietary distillation process which retains the character of the pure spirit and filters out impurities is controlled at all stages of production as the spirit passes through over 200 distillation stages. Russian Standard is then filtered four times through Russian Birch Charcoal. The vodka then rests for 48 hours in steel tanks where the liquid matures and the ingredients marry each other for perfect balance.The aroma is old school vodka with grain alcohol and vanilla. The sweet wheat entry is creamy with vanilla taste arriving and building to a lemon grass peak. The smooth fade is followed by a sting on the long dry mineral finish. If this is their entry level vodka I can’t wait to try their premium vodka.
