Smirnoff Vodka 100 Proof

Smirnoff 100 Proof is the high-strength version of the world’s best-selling vodka — bottled at 50% ABV for cocktails that need more backbone.
It shares the same lineage as Smirnoff No. 21 — the charcoal-filtration method rooted in 19th-century Moscow — but is bottled at a higher strength. The extra proof carries more of the spirit’s character into a drink, holding its own against strong mixers and bold flavors where standard vodka can get lost.
At 50% ABV it’s a bartender’s choice for cocktails built for impact: punches, infusions, and high-flavor mixes where you want the vodka to register rather than disappear.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Clean and neutral with a fuller spirit lift.
