Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABD) has introduced Russia's top premium vodka brand, Russian Standard, to the Indian market through its luxury subsidiary ABD Maestro Pvt. Ltd. The launch includes three variants — Russian Standard Original (₹2,400 for 750ML), Gold (₹2,650), and Platinum (₹5,300 for 700ML), with Maharashtra being the first market. The vodka is known for its purity and smoothness, crafted with glacial water from Lake Ladoga and winter wheat from the Russian Steppes.
This rollout comes as the Indian vodka market, estimated at 14 million cases in 2024, continues to grow at a strong pace. Through a strategic partnership with global producer Roust Corporation, ABD Maestro aims to lead the premium and luxury spirits category in India.
Managing Director Bikram Basu emphasized the brand's focus on catering to evolving Indian tastes and filling the gap for high-quality, globally recognized vodka. Russian Standard will be available in premium retail stores, hotels, bars, and lounges, backed by ABD's robust distribution network.
