Hammer & Sickle Vodka

The day Russia changed forever

The October Revolution, 1917. In Petrograd, Bolshevik troops brought down the Tsar and control over the country was given to the people. Hammer – the industrial workers from the north, and Sickle – the farmers from the south. 
 
Russia's vast farmland and its people play an important role in the story of Hammer + Sickle Vodka. It's made from winter wheat, grown in the Black Earth Region, one of the most fertile corners of the Earth. It was named after chernozem, a dark and extremely rich soil.
 
Every spring the wheat crop that withstood a harsh winter is brought to Klin near Moscow, where it gets distilled and filtered six times before this essence of Russia is bottled as the Hammer + Sickle Vodka. Show some respect and drink it neat (pairing with a spoonful of caviar optional), or use it to add some serious class to your Friday night cocktail.
