This is one of those bottles you'll see pretty much everywhere for a reason. Made by Smirnoff, with roots going back to Moscow, it's a straightforward, reliable vodka that's all about being clean and easy to mix. What gives it that smooth feel is the process - it's triple distilled and then filtered multiple times through charcoal, which strips out harshness and keeps things crisp and neutral . You don't get loads of strong flavour here, and that's the point - it's designed to work with whatever you mix it with, from simple vodka & cola to cocktails like a Moscow Mule.
The 1.5 litre bottle is just a bigger version of the classic, so it's ideal if you're stocking up for a party or just want something that'll last a bit longer.
