Global Relaunch of the World’s #1 Premium Russian Vodka
Russian Standard Vodka, the world’s Number One premium Russian vodka, announces the re-launch of legendary Russian Standard Original with updated packaging.
Russian Standard Original’s superior taste is reflected in a new, more minimal and sophisticated design, which has been developed to strengthen emotional connections with consumers. The modern look of the brand fully meets the latest market trends, as well as new consumer perceptions and requirements of premium brands, whilst showcasing its history of creation and Russian origin.
The new minimalist design has increased emphasis on the logo and brand name. An additional, premium silver label highlights Russian Standard Vodka’s origins in the city of St Petersburg – Russia’s cultural capital and the traditional center of vodka production. St. Petersburg is home to the most state-of-the-art distillery in the country, producing only the finest, most premium Russian Standard vodkas. The signature bell-shaped bottle has been redesigned for a lighter and more elegant product, finished with a unique cap design that was developed especially for new Russian Standard Original.
Roustam Tariko, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Russian Standard Holding, commented: “Established in 1998, the Russian Standard brand set a high benchmark for the entire industry in terms of the quality of vodka and its packaging. Today we are pleased to present the first revolutionary update and offer a modern perception of the traditions of high quality of the best Russian premium vodka in the world.”
