Inspired
by the most powerful of the Russian Tsars, Ivan the Terrible Vodka is
a quintessentially Russian vodka, crafted in the distinctive Osobaya
style to an authentic 16th century recipe.
Made from the highest quality, quadrupled-distilled
grain spirit and natural spring water, it's silky smooth character and
luxurious finish is achieved through the delicate, barely traceable
infusions of wild buckwheat honey and Siberian cedar nuts.
A well-kept secret of Russian vodka producers,
subtle infusions of herbs and spices have been used for centuries to
make Osobaya vodka - "the Rolls Royce of Russian vodkas".
A product of exceptional purity and delicacy, Ivan the Terrible vodka
is perfect for drinking neat as a lightly chilled shot, and is also
ideal for use in premium cocktails, where it enhances the quality of
other ingredients. Freezing Ivan the Terrible Vodka is not recommended
as it can strip the vodka of its delicate taste and aroma.
Ivan the IV ("the Terrible") is known
as the world's first vodka magnate. During his reign, the first exclusive
vodka bars were set up in Moscow, known as "Tsar's Taverns",
with all the revenues going into the Tsar's treasury. In the 16th century
Ivan actively pursued the policy of his father, who had established
the state monopoly for vodka distillation in 1474. In fact, Ivan's harsh
governing methods ensured that the quality of Russia's national spirit
remained high at all times.
Ivan was also an astute politician and diplomat
and, on one occasion, he sent a secret diplomatic letter hidden in a
vodka bottle to Queen Elizabeth I. Legend has it that he even proposed
marriage to her, a proposal that was refused.
Ivan the Terrible Vodka is presented in a limited
edition traditional Russian vodka decanter, known as a "Romanoff's
Schtoff", with a hand-made glass stopper.

IVAN THE TERRIBLE® vodka is inspired by
Ivan IV ("the Terrible"), the most powerful of the Russian
Tsars. The word "Terrible" is an incorrect translation of
his nickname "Grozny", meaning "Stern" or "Strict".
Ivan, indeed, was terrible to his enemies, including aristocratic opposition
and foreign invaders, most of whom he defeated successfully. He united
what was to become 21st century Russia. Ivan was highly intelligent,
cultured and had an exquisite taste. He patronised the Muscovy Company,
the first English plc, set up to trade with Russia in 1555, and was
a big admirer of Elizabeth I. The Tsar is also known as the world's
first VODKA MAGNATE: he reinstated the monopoly for vodka production
and opened the first vodka bars in the 16th century Moscow. His harsh
governing methods guaranteed the high quality of the national spirit.
