The World's No. 1 Vodka, Three Distillations Deep
Smirnoff began in 1864, when P.A. Smirnov founded his Moscow vodka house; after the Russian Revolution, his son Vladimir rebuilt the brand in Europe under the anglicised "Smirnoff" name it still carries. Today Diageo positions No. 21 as the world's No. 1 vodka, sold in over 130 countries — a triple-distilled, ten-times-filtered staple designed to disappear cleanly into any serve. Find it on the Smirnoff vendor page and in our vodka collection.
Tasting Notes
The producer stresses essential smoothness above all: a clean, neutral palate and a dry finish — a vodka built to carry a cocktail rather than dominate it. No detailed flavour notes are published on the official US page, and none are invented here.
How to Enjoy
On ice with a citrus twist, in a Moscow Mule, or as the clean base of a Martini or Bloody Mary. More bar staples are in our spirits collection.
