Smirnoff Vodka

1L

Piotr Smirnov founded his first vodka distillery in Moscow in the 1860s, under the name PA Smirnoff. He died in 1898, and was succeeded by Vladimir Smirnov. The company prospered, producing over 4 million cases of vodka annually. During the October Revolution, the distillery was confiscated, and the family was forced to flee. Vladimir Smirnov reestablished the factory in Istanbul in 1920. Four years later, he moved to Lviv, Ukraine, and began selling the vodka under the French pronunciation of the name, "Smirnoff." The new product was a success, and by the late 1930s, it was exported to most European countries. A branch was opened in Paris in 1925. Today, it is produced in 19 countries. Smirnoff is an ultra-smooth vodka with a classic flavor and is one of the largest vodka brands in the world.
