Roust sweeps board with medals for Russian Standard and Żubrówka at Vodka Masters 2021

Roust, the world's number two vodka producer, excelled at The Vodka Masters 2021 with a clean sweep of impressive Gold medals across its portfolio, including the ultimate accolade, the Master award, for Żubrówka Bison Grass. By winning more Gold medals for the third consecutive year, Roust remains undefeated as one of the most awarded vodka producers.

Żubrówka Bison Grass landed the highest accolade, the Master medal. Every bottle contains a single blade of rare, handpicked bison grass, creating a truly distinctive taste with underlying herbaceous and vanilla tones.

After an already successful year in global tasting competitions (with Gold and Silver medals won at The International Wine and Spirits Competition and The International Spirits Challenge), Roust’s new award wins maintain it in a leading position within the industry.
