P.A. Smirnov

Smirnoff's Bold Beginnings

In 1864, P.A. Smirnov set out with optimistic entrepreneurialism, ingenuity, and perseverance to make high-quality spirits accessible to all. The result of his restless pursuit and years of experimentation created the foundation for Smirnoff 21.

Smirnoff's Pioneering Spirit

Since those early years of innovation, Smirnoff established itself as more than just a vodka, becoming a trailblazing instigator of many socializing and drinking trends. As a brand forever ahead of its time, Smirnoff infiltrated the United States as a white whiskey, ignited the cocktail revolution of the 1950s, invented Smirnoff Ice, and led the flavored vodka revolution. A brand known to shake things up and do things a bit differently, Smirnoff has always been ahead of its time and driven cross-cultural appeal throughout its history.
