Russian Standard Platinum is the silver-filtered tier of Russia's benchmark vodka: winter wheat from the steppes and soft glacial water, distilled to the classic recipe, then passed through silver filtration for an extra-clean, polished finish.

Mood: Cold, clean, freezer-door.

Tasting notes

Near-neutral nose with faint grain sweetness and a cool mineral edge. Silky entry, soft wheat and a whisper of vanilla through the middle, then a clean, rounded finish with almost none of the burn cheaper vodkas carry. Best ice-cold from the freezer.

How to serve

Freezer-cold and neat, over ice with a twist, or as the base of a martini or vodka tonic where you actually taste the spirit. Stands up next to smoked fish, herring, and a l'chaim at kiddush.
