Russian Standard Platinum is made with hardy winter wheat grown on the Black Steppes of Russia and soft glacial waters of Lake Ladoga in Russia's frozen north. After being distilled multiple times and quadruple-filtered through charcoal, the spirit is then filtered through a proprietary silver filtration system that further purifies the vodka, resulting in vodka that is crisp, clean, and of unparalleled smoothness. The product is then relaxed for 48 hours before bottling. Russian Standard Platinum is perfect for sipping neat and makes the perfect martini.
