Thread: Buying Russian Standard Vodka in the USA

Hello,
Any one know if Russian Standard vodka can be purchased in the USA? If so, where, how?

Thank you,
Scott

You mean "Standart"??

Umm, not my favorite, but it

You can try here. The prices are not cheap though.

I'm going to take this opportunity to do a bit of thread-jacking: is Starka all it's cracked up to be?

Another thread B&E, has anyone tried 'Kalashikov Vodka'?


The bottle looks WAY too cool, it might be crappy vodka though.

No, I heard about this when it launched, though. The guy is like 80 and he never made any real money from his guns, so this is his last ditch effort to supplement his pension.

Haha. We should definitely harass MasterAdmin with a bunch of "MasterzAdminz plz give 2 us a vodka discuzzion 4-um!!!" posts and pms.

I actually saw it in a liquor store in Petersburg, it was extremely expensive though, so I didn't try it...

I saw it at a vodka bar in St. Louis, and had the bartender make me a drink with it. Seemed pretty average to me. My two all time favorites are Zybrowka (polish) and Stoli Элит.

I liked флагман and дипломат, but then again I am cheap.

Hmm, I guess I didn't realize more than one vodka would come in a vodka bottle like that. So, I guess I don't know.

Neither. Flagman, Diplomat, Standart, and others that have erased themselves from my memory...

One of the strangest vodkas I

Современная рашн водка готовится так: Берется чистый спирт (30 %), какая-нить дрянь (вместе с чистым спиртом), от которой все живое дохнет (кроме русских конечно) (10%), вода (60 %), все это перемешивается, разливается в бутылки, и отправляется в розничную сеть (ларьки, магазины, и т.п.).

From this site:

http://www.russianstandard.com/

under "Press Center" it says they will be selling Russian Standard in the USA. Any one seen it? I had their Imperia and it was good. Still like Stolichnaya the best though.

Бывают исключения. Давеча выпивал "Праздничную", выпущенную к 100-летию завода Кристалл. Достойная водка.
Дайте две... =)
