St. Petersburg Vodka
St. Petersburg Vodka is a 38% ABV (76 proof) Russian vodka in a 750mL bottle, sold under Russian Standard's "St. Petersburg" export label — a slightly softer sibling to the classic 40% Russian Standard Original. Country of origin: Russia. Retailer spec panels position it around the same Russian Standard hallmarks — winter wheat and a neutral, mineral-driven profile — in a smoother, lower-proof pour. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Softer St. Petersburg
Russian Standard built its name on a strict formula — winter wheat, glacial water, relentless filtration — and the St. Petersburg export label carries that DNA at a gentler 38%. It's the entry point to the house style: clean, smooth, and unadorned, made for drinkers who find full-strength vodka too assertive. Explore more St. Petersburg and the full vodka collection.
Tasting Notes
Per retailer spec panels: clear, rather neutral mineral-water and cream aromas on the nose; a very smooth, silky, dry medium body with delicate spiciness on the palate; and a smooth, elegant mineral and powdered-sugar fade on the finish. Sweet, grainy top notes with a clean, soft aftertaste.
How to Enjoy
Serve freezer-cold as a straight shot the Russian way, or put its neutral smoothness to work in a Vodka Martini, a Moscow Mule, or a simple vodka soda with lemon.
