We have an exciting challenge before us to drive vibrancy back into the vodka category, with Moskovskaya at the forefront.”

Moskovskaya is a meticulously crafted vodka from Latvia, made with the highest quality ingredients and packaging materials sourced exclusively from within the European Union. With over 125 years of heritage and the recipe unchanged since 1938, Moskovskaya is one of the oldest heritage vodka brands in the world.
