Russian Squadron vodka attracts the consumer not so much by the quality of a good classic drink, but by original design solutions. Each bottle is a kind of “kinder surprise”, only with a toy for adult men. At the bottom of the vessel is a miniature model of a deep-sea mine, a military aircraft, a T-34 tank or a cruiser, skilfully made of sterling silver. So fans of vodka get not only their favorite drink, but also a souvenir. Not surprisingly, many of them collect collections. The model is clearly visible through transparent glass, so when buying, you can choose the missing collectible item. The exclusive design is also emphasized by the pictures of military battles on the label – in the air, at sea or on land.
About the manufacturer
Vodka company “Standard” was founded in 2003 in Nizhny Novgorod. Status – limited liability company. The total production capacity is one and a half million decaliters per year.
Director General Sergey Verkhovodov believes that the main reason for the company’s success is the high level of product quality, which can be achieved thanks to its own laboratory, imported equipment, and fully automated bottling lines.
Vodka is produced according to the classical canons, but polishing filtration is used – a multi-stage cleaning system with charcoal and silver.
The product is not poured immediately: first, the vodka “rests” in a dimly lit cellar for about two weeks. According to the company’s specialists, such exposure improves the organoleptic properties of the drink, softens the taste.
The company has a team of six professional tasters who check products for all indicators.
OOO “Standard” produces exclusive brands – with an individual logo and author’s design. The design is agreed with the consumer and created specifically for an anniversary, corporate holiday, wedding or other celebration.
The company’s products are exported to China, South Korea, Vietnam, Ethiopia.
The design provides for a multi-stage level of protection against fakes and falsifications: an original bottle in the shape of a beacon, a cap with tamper evident, a stylish label with holography, a sticker with a code.
“The creation of the military-patriotic line “Russian Squadron” was a tribute to the heroism of the Russian military — pilots, sailors, tankers. This is our symbol of admiration for the military power of Russia,” says the Director General of the enterprise.
In 2014, the Russian Squadron brand received gold at the ProdExpo competition in Moscow, and in 2016 it received the ProdExpo Star award.
Types of vodka “Russian squadron”
“Russian squadron” consists of three types: limited series, GOLD and PREMIUM. According to the technology of preparation, taste and olfactory features, the drinks do not differ. Differences are only in design: a limited edition – with weapon models, “Gold” – gold on the label and a deep-sea mine at the bottom, “Premium” – a deep-sea mine behind tinted bottle glass.
The main component of the drinks is luxury alcohol, purified water using coal, silver and nanofilters, and an extract of flakes from germinated wheat. A subtle and light aroma reminiscent of the smell of freshly baked bread. The full velvety taste has a slightly spicy grainy undertone. Vodka is served chilled to 8-10 ° C with traditional Russian dishes – pancakes with caviar, boiled pork, jelly, homemade pickles, pickled mushrooms. The drink sets off the taste and aroma of meat appetizers, combined with salted and smoked fish, used by bartenders in cocktails.
