Vodka Russian Standard Original Wodka

Mit Russian Standard erobert der Milliardär Roustam Tariko gerade den europäischen Markt. Die Marke hat nach alter
russischer Schule eine starke Brotteig- und Getreidenote, sagt Claire Smith, ein Wodka mit Kraft und Stärke, der
trotzdem ausgewogen ist. Jürgen Deibel empfiehlt ihn gerade für Wenigtrinker, denn er ist mild und bleibt auch
nach dem zweiten Schluck in guter Erinnerung. Wer selten Wodka trinkt, sollte ein paar Regeln beachten, rät Alen
Aronov: Dazu gehört, viel Wasser zu trinken und wie Russen es traditionell auch tun nebenbei Kleinigkeiten zu essen.

The Art of Tasting Vodka: While many prefer to drink their vodka ice cold, it is best, for tasting purposes, to pour it into a glass at room temperature. Cold tends to dampen the aroma and deaden the taste buds. Look at the liquid; it should be clear and bright, absent any cloudiness. Second - smell or "nose" the vodka by swirling it in the glass. Watch out for sharp, pungent odors or a perfumed smell. Third - take a small sip and roll it around your tongue. Look for a pleasant flavor and, yes, it varies from person to person. Fourth - draw a little air over the vodka to release its flavors, then swallow it and evaluate the finish. Fifth - pure vodka should feel smooth on the tongue...with no "bite," and be pleasant but not overpowering, nor have an off-aroma or flavor and little aftertaste. You\'re ready!

Russian Standard Original is recognised throughout its native homeland as the ultimate benchmark for all Russian vodkas. Conforming to Professor Mendeleev\'s original formula, it is a superbly smooth spirit with a pure taste that maintains the characteristic bread flavour 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.

In 1998, after years spent witnessing our motherland abandon its vodka producing heritage, we made history by launching a brand-new premium vodka distilled and bottled exclusively in Russia using only the finest Russian ingredients.
Less than ten years later, our daring enterprise has paid off. Not only is Russian Standard Vodka the number one premium brand in our homeland where it symbolises the essence of our vibrant, modern society but major international markets are also turning to our outstanding spirit.
By employing a unique blend of centuries-old tradition, passionate attention to detail and state-of-the-art distilling techniques, we have created a portfolio of totally Russian premium vodkas unrivalled anywhere in the world: Russian Standard Original, Russian Standard Platinum and Imperia Vodka.
Now we want vodka connoisseurs everywhere to enjoy this most elegant of Russian pleasures.
