✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Smirnoff Blue Label (No. 57) represents a historic distilled spirit rather than a traditional grape wine, categorized here under 'Other'. Its legacy dates back to 1864 in Moscow, where founder Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov established his distillery and pioneered the use of charcoal filtration to create vodka of unprecedented purity. This technique earned him the coveted title of Purveyor to the Imperial Russian Court. The Blue Label is a premium, high-strength expression (typically 50% ABV or 100 proof) of the classic recipe. It is triple-distilled from select grains and meticulously filtered ten times through active charcoal columns. This intensive process yields an exceptionally clean, neutral spirit with a robust mouthfeel, subtle grain sweetness, and a crisp, warming finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Smirnoff har rødder tilbage til 1864 i Moskva, hvor brandet blev grundlagt af Pjotr Arsenjevitj Smirnov. Han var en pioner inden for brugen af kulfiltrering for at opnå en hidtil uset renhed i vodka. Efter den bolsjevikiske revolution flygtede sønnen Vladimir Smirnov fra Rusland og genoplivede mærket i Europa, før han i 1930'erne etablerede produktionen i Nordamerika. I dag er Smirnoff ejet af Diageo og hører til blandt verdens bedst sælgende spiritusmærker. Huset værner fortsat om sin stolte tradition for kvalitet gennem tredobbelt destillation og en omhyggelig kulfiltrering i ti trin. Brandet er verdenskendt for sit silkebløde og alsidige flagskib, Smirnoff No. 21 (Red Label), den mere potente Blue Label samt den traditionelle pot still-destillerede Black Label.
