Russian Standard Vodka is a Russian vodka produced by Roustam Tariko. It is made from Russian winter wheat and glacial water from Lake Ladoga, and contains 40% alcohol by volume. The company claims that the water used in the production of Russian Standard Vodka comes from "the same source as that which has been drunk by generations of Russian Tsars". Roust will manage the import and distribution of the Roust portfolio in the UK which includes premium, iconic vodka brands Russian Standard, Żubrówka and Green Mark. Russian Standard Vodka is made using a traditional Russian method of vodka production that has been passed down for generations. The wheat used to make the vodka is grown in the Russian Steppes and is specially selected for its purity. Once the wheat is harvested, it is milled and distilled four times to create a smooth, clean spirit.

Since 2015, Roust has partnered with William Grant & Sons UK Ltd to manage the distribution of Russian Standard, Green Mark and Żubrówka vodkas across Off and On-Trade channels. As you may have guessed by now, the reasons for this are to do with Russia invading Ukraine and boycotts of products made in Russia. Supporting those brands, the theory goes, supports the Russian war effort through fundraising. Why you can get Smirnoff in supermarkets but not Russian Standard vodka

Secondly, Russian Standard Vodka has a strong flavor that some people may not enjoy. If you are looking for a vodka with a milder flavor, then this may not be the right choice for you. One of Smirnoff's main rivals in the UK vodka market is, or perhaps was, Russian Standard vodka. Supermarkets have pulled Russian Standard from shelves, due to the brand's links with Russia, where it is still made, in St Petersburg. Jonathan Ashworth, who will head up the new Roust UK organisation, commented, “I would like to thank William Grant & Sons UK for helping advance the growth and momentum of our portfolio in the UK allowing us to develop this hybrid approach to distributing our brands. With the major Grocers representing a significant part of our UK business, we will be focusing Roust UK’s attention in this sector, while working with Paragon Brands to manage our other key customers.”Smirnoff has its roots in Russia. Its distillery was founded by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov in Moscow in 1864. But after the Russian Revolution the brand was sold and moved to the USA, as vodka production in the then Soviet Union was nationalised. Now owned by Diageo, Smirnoff vodka is produced around the world, including the UK and Ireland, but not in Russia. Russian Standard Vodka is not a perfect product. There are some disadvantages that you should be aware of before you buy it. Created by combining state-of-the-art distillation techniques with time honored traditions and crafted using the finest ingredients of winter wheat and water of glacial origin, Russian Standard Vodka is the benchmark for excellence in the homeland of vodka." All of Russian Standard's vodkas are produced in Saint Petersburg, Russia. What Are Some Alternatives To Russian Standard Vodka?
