Russian Standard Gold Review

THE GOLD STANDARD


RUSSIAN STANDARD INTRODUCES A NEW PREMIUM VODKA

 On 1st April 2010 Russian Standard, Russia’s No.1 premium vodka, introduced a new luxury vodka in the UK – Russian Standard Gold.

This announcement could be passed by as seeming  pretty standard but it would be a mistake.
Vodka is my true spirit of choice, I have tried over ice, I like it with bitter lemon, tonic, cranberry and pomegranante as well as the amazing Funkins pure juice mixers I recently reviewed.

When I was asked if I would like to sample Russian Standard Gold I was expecting a good premium vodka.
When it arrived in its gold case I was pretty impressed, more so as I opened the case and saw the Gold standing in its own red lined cabinet!


It truly is showcased in pure Russian style, golds and reds and ornate engravings.
I am expecting  greatness in this drink, fit for a Tsar.

I tried neat over ice and its such an impressive taste. It has a caramel sweetness and for vodka is incredibly sleek, almost silky to taste.
It is a spirit that deserves some time to be taken drinking it  I immediately had to try another and then close the box and stow away for Christmas. Certainly not made for a  quick swig or in a shot on a night out.
It truly suits a festive occasion and is now waiting patiently in my cupboard, at least one of is patient!!

I must recommend you to take a peek on the website and watch the premium advert for Russian Standard. Its a world of art and very stylish. 


A smooth and rich vodka, Russian Standard Gold hosts a range of subtle sweet notes which blend together exceptionally well to create a magnificent spirit that can easily be consumed chilled on the rocks or with a favourite mixer. The bottle is housed within striking gold packaging creating the ultimate golden gift for friends or family.

Distilled from the finest Russian winter wheat from the southern steppes of Russia, blended with the softest and purest glacial waters from Lake Ladoga and incorporating time-honored Siberian golden roots which provide a soft taste - Russian Standard Gold is clear, pure, smooth and strong quality vodka, perfect for any discerning vodka drinker.

 
Russian Standard vodka is steeped in Russian heritage; it is based on the vodka formula created by illustrious scientist Dmitri Mendeleev and is produced with premium Russian ingredients which are distilled at Russian Standard Vodka’s state-of-the-art distillery in St Petersburg.
