INFORMATION
About Smirnoff
Enjoying a rich heritage, Smirnoff originated in Russia and became the drink of Tsars, before its producer, Vladimir
Smirnoff, was forced to flee the country in the face of the Russian revolution. In international markets, Smirnoff’s
popularity continued and today it is the world’s best selling spirit. The traditional production methods used by Vladimir
Smirnoff are still used to create an extraordinarily pure vodka today. The Smirnoff words & associated logos are
