About the brand
The brand was founded in Moscow in 1864 by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov. He was the first to use charcoal filtration in the 1870s and became a purveyor to the Russian Imperial Court. Smirnoff is credited with sparking the "Cocktail Revolution" in the 1950s (popularizing the Moscow Mule) and inventing the Ready-To-Drink (RTD) category with the launch of Smirnoff Ice in 1999.
