Putinka Classic

Putinka was launched in 2002 by alcohol company Winexim and quickly became Russia's market leader and unofficial national vodka. The brand's name references Vladimir Putin, whose permission was required to use his name commercially. According to reports, Putin and connected oligarch Arkady Rotenberg gained control of the brand's earnings through co-owner Oleg Plakhuta. The brand received significant market boost in 2015 when Russia reduced minimum vodka pricing, making Putinka one of the most accessible premium vodkas in the Russian market. It remains widely distributed across Russia and internationally, representing a distinctive chapter in post-Soviet Russian business and politics.

Produced at Crystal Moscow Distillery using a complex formula combining premium grain spirit with specially prepared water. Triple-distilled in column stills with charcoal filtration to achieve high purity and clean taste profile characteristic of Russian vodka production standards.
