Smirnoff Copper Pot Still Vodka (Smirnoff Black No. 55)
Luxurious, refined, and handcrafted in small batches, Smirnoff Copper Pot Still Vodka (also known as Smirnoff Black No. 55) represents the pinnacle of Smirnoff’s distilling expertise. After multiple distillations for purity, the spirit is redistilled in traditional copper pot stills to achieve exceptional smoothness, texture, and depth.
Bottled at 40% ABV, this premium expression delivers a rich, creamy mouthfeel with delicate vanilla sweetness and a clean, elegant finish. The result is a vodka that blends modern precision with timeless craft.
Made at Scotland’s Cameronbridge Distillery, one of the oldest grain distilleries in the world, Smirnoff Copper Pot Still is both a tribute to the brand’s 19th-century origins and a celebration of modern refinement - pure, polished, and beautifully smooth.
Refined, velvety, and distinctly smooth, Smirnoff Copper Pot Still Vodka — known in some markets as Smirnoff Black No. 55 — is the premium, small-batch expression of the Smirnoff range. Crafted to showcase texture and depth, it takes Smirnoff’s classic purity to new levels of refinement.
Distilled in continuous stills and then redistilled in traditional copper pot stills, this vodka achieves a uniquely soft, creamy mouthfeel while maintaining crystal-clean precision. The copper contact enriches the spirit with a rounded, luxurious texture that sets it apart from column-distilled vodkas.
Bottled at 40% ABV, Smirnoff Copper Pot Still offers a delicate balance of purity, warmth, and subtle grain sweetness — a vodka designed for sipping, not just mixing.
Produced at the Cameronbridge Distillery in Scotland — one of the oldest grain distilleries in continuous operation — Smirnoff Copper Pot Still Vodka draws on both historical craft and modern precision.
Founded in 1864 by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov, the Smirnoff brand pioneered charcoal filtration and multi-distillation, setting the global standard for purity. The Copper Pot Still variant pays homage to those roots while embracing the craftsmanship of Scottish distillation.
Each batch is redistilled in traditional copper pot stills originally used for fine whiskies, imparting the spirit with its signature silkiness and depth. The result is a vodka that bridges tradition and innovation — as smooth as it is distinctive.
