Smirnoff
Smirnoff is a distillery founded in Moscow in 1864, by Piotr Arseneevich. It is a brand with an interesting history, having gone through very tough times, interspersed with periods of great success. For example, in 1886 the company was recognized by the Tsar with a special mention, securing the official supply of Vodka for the Russian sovereigns until 1917; it was in this year, during the October Revolution of 1917, that Smirnoff was confiscated by the Bolsheviks, and Vladimir, Piotr's son, was thus forced to emigrate to Istanbul, then called Constantinople, where he could restart production. Today Smirnoff is owned by Diageo, and is one of the most well-known and appreciated Vodkas among enthusiasts of this spirit. Distributed in over 130 countries worldwide, it offers a decidedly diverse range of products, capable of satisfying the needs of the most varied consumers.
Smirnoff Vodka comes from a very interesting production process, which involves repeated processes several times, requiring care and attention to the smallest details. First of all, it starts with wheat, an ingredient of absolute quality that is selected by the distillery team with great diligence, because only from excellent raw material can labels be obtained that present a quality consistent over time. The distillation is triple, which allows for maximum concentration of the aromas and olfactory notes that constitute the final profile of the Vodka. At the end of the processing, before bottling operations, not one, not two, but 10 filtrations are carried out, which contribute to making the final product pure and crystalline.
Smirnoff is a reality of significant dimensions, one of the global giants, also thanks to the ownership by Diageo, regarding Vodka production. As a consequence, the range of products offered is indeed very wide, spanning from labels with different flavors to more traditional products. Among the latter, a prominent place belongs to Vodka “N° 21 Red Label”, a true must for those who want to try their hand at an iconic and classic product.
