Moskovskaya – literally "Muscovite Vodka" - is one of the leading international vodka brands. First made in the Soviet era, it is a traditional Russian vodka made of grain alcohol and water from artesian wells.

Moskovskaya is one of the best-selling international vodkas, with particular strength in the German, Spanish and Italian markets. It has made a mark with lovers of fine spirits throughout the world because of its reputation for classical simplicity. A lot of people prefer its slightly different taste - with a clean original flavour, it is warming without harshness and famed for its smoothness. The drink is one of the best-known Russian trademarks with its distinctive green and gold label.
