NVClean, versatile, and globally renowned, Smirnoff No. 21 Original Vodka is one of the world’s best-selling spirits and the original benchmark for modern vodka. With origins dating back to 1864, Smirnoff was founded by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov in Moscow and became the first distillery to use charcoal filtration to achieve exceptional purity.
Today, Smirnoff No. 21 continues to embody that pioneering spirit. Distilled three times from high-quality grain and filtered ten times through activated charcoal, it delivers unrivalled consistency and smoothness. Bottled at 37.5% ABV (Europe) or 40% ABV (export), Smirnoff offers a clean, neutral taste with just a hint of soft grain sweetness — making it ideal for any occasion or serve.
Recognised globally for its purity and balance, Smirnoff No. 21 remains the world’s most iconic vodka — approachable, reliable, and perfectly smooth.
Founded in Moscow in 1864, Smirnoff Vodka quickly established itself as a leading innovator in distillation, with Pyotr Smirnov introducing advanced charcoal filtration and pioneering quality control. After the Russian Revolution, the Smirnov family fled Russia, eventually re-establishing the brand in Europe and later in the United States, where it rose to global prominence in the mid-20th century.
Today, Smirnoff is produced under Diageo, with distilleries across the world adhering to the same rigorous production standards that define its signature smoothness. Though now an international brand, Smirnoff continues to honour its Russian heritage through craftsmanship, consistency, and commitment to quality.
Over 160 years later, Smirnoff remains the most recognised vodka name worldwide — the original pioneer of purity and accessibility.
