Smirnoff vodka was produced in the early 1860s by Piort Arsenyevitch Smirnov in a town in Russia. He was also the first person to use charcoal filtration in his distilling process. During the Russian Revolution the distillery was confiscated by the state but one of the sons of the founder left Russia and moved to Paris. Here he met an American businessman who thought that perhaps the Vodka from Russia would find an export market. Smirnoff Triple Distilled Premium Vodka is still owned and distributed by Heublein and produced by Ste Pierre Smirnoff.
This vodka is clear, medium to full bodied, dry and has reminiscents of lemon, white pepper, and charcoal. This vodka has a full bold texture. It has a smoky sensation on the palate and is followed by a burst of rich flavor and spice. Its impeccable structure is evidenced by the long silky finish.
