There is a long history of accounts of Napoleon’s soldiers’ taste for Russian vodka, as the emperor himself used it not only as a medicine, but in cocktails prepared for them by Mademoiselle Avrillion (1774 – 1853).
It is also said that Napoleon was a fast eater, not very fond of gastronomy like his predecessors.
Napoleon Vodka is distilled only from the best grain alcohol produced in Spain and France. To ensure its unbeatable smoothness and quality it is filtered five times over charcoal. We have crafted everything from the wheat and water that goes into the distillation to the label design and glass bottles it is packaged in Spain.
Our vodka was named Napoleon in symbolic homage to this great Emperor for knowing how to maintain honor in triumph and defeat.
Among his famous phrases there is one in particular that fits in with the vision of our product “The reach of your consciousness is limited only by your capacity to love and to embrace with your love the space that surrounds you and all that it contains”.
Besides de extraordinary tradition and outstanding quality, there are other facts of Napoleon Vodka lovers:

The peak of “Napoleonics” in 1912 was the production of the partnership “Sinyushin and Smorodinov” – vodka “Bitter Napoleon’s teardrop” with a portrait of the emperor on the bottle. While the mugs, handkerchiefs, boxes and jars can still be explained, the production of vodka with a portrait of Napoleon is a unique fact. A Russian person should not have bought this vodka, not under any circumstances. But he did. Moreover, it became the main table drink at the celebrations of 1912.
