Description

Smirnoff Black Small Batch Vodka is a premium expression that showcases the heritage and craftsmanship behind one of the world's most iconic vodka brands. Produced in small batches using traditional copper pot stills and filtered through Siberian silver birch charcoal, it delivers a richer, smoother, and more characterful style than the classic Smirnoff No. 21.

Unlike conventional column-distilled vodkas, Smirnoff Black embraces a more artisanal approach, preserving subtle grain character while achieving remarkable purity and elegance. The traditional copper pot stills contribute greater depth and texture, while silver birch charcoal filtration refines the spirit without stripping away its complexity.

The result is an exceptionally smooth sipping vodka with a clean, rounded palate and refined finish—ideal for enjoying neat, over ice, or in premium vodka cocktails where quality and character truly shine.

Craftsmanship

Smirnoff Black Small Batch Vodka revives traditional vodka-making techniques by combining small batch production with classic copper pot distillation. Unlike continuous column distillation, copper pot stills allow greater control over the distillation process while preserving subtle grain character and delivering exceptional mouthfeel.

Following distillation, the vodka is filtered through Siberian silver birch charcoal, a traditional filtration medium prized for producing remarkable purity without sacrificing body or complexity. The result is a vodka that offers exceptional smoothness with a richer, more refined character, making it equally enjoyable neat or in spirit-forward cocktails.
