New to the US. Russians drink a lot of vodka, and guess what, this is the number one selling vodka in Russia. Distilled based on the Russian Standard formula, designed by D.I. Mendeleev in 1894. You really don’t need to know anything past that, but if you insist…

Conforming to Professor Mendeleev's original formula, it is a superbly smooth spirit with a pure taste that maintains the characteristic "bread" flavor of traditional Russian vodka. The unique shape of its specially textured bottle-reflecting the depth of the product's Russian personality-is inspired by the 200 tonne bell commissioned by Tsarina Anna I, which stands at the foot of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in Moscow. Featuring Dmitri Mendeleev's signature as a mark of its absolute authenticity and historic ancestry, Russian Standard Original's striking packaging presents a dramatic evocation of Russia's Imperial past and the culturally important place vodka holds in Russian life. Russian Standard original is the finest expression of traditional Russian vodka.
