Our Take on Russian Standard
At DubaiBottles, we believe that great vodka should be pure, bold, and unmistakably authentic. Russian Standard is the embodiment of that philosophy. This vodka set a new benchmark for Russian quality when it launched in 1998. It became the country’s first modern premium vodka.
Russian Standard draws inspiration from the work of the legendary scientist Dmitri Mendeleev. It also follows the imperial standard set by Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The vodka is crafted from winter wheat grown in the rich black soil of the Russian steppes. It’s blended with pure, soft glacial water from Lake Ladoga. The spirit is distilled and quadruple‑filtered through charcoal for exceptional purity.
The result is a vodka that’s smooth, characterful, and unmistakably Russian. Whether you’re enjoying it neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, Russian Standard delivers a taste of true Russian craftsmanship.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Russian Standard is best enjoyed ice‑cold. Ideally stored in the freezer for a few hours before serving. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, pop it in the freezer as soon as it arrives for the perfect serving temperature. For a classic experience, enjoy it with traditional Russian accompaniments — pickles, black bread, or a slice of lemon.
The Story Behind Russian Standard
Russian Standard was founded in 1998 by Russian businessman Roustam Tariko. His vision was to create a vodka that reflected a new standard of quality and innovation. He drew inspiration from the imperial standard set by Tsar Alexander III in 1894.
The brand quickly became Russia’s number one premium vodka. It has since expanded to more than 80 markets around the world. In 2006, a state‑of‑the‑art distillery was opened in St. Petersburg. The location was chosen for its proximity to the pure glacial waters of Lake Ladoga. Today, Russian Standard remains a symbol of authentic Russian craftsmanship and quality.
