Eristoff

Eristoff

Eristoff Vodka originates from Georgia and was first created for Prince Eristoff in 1806.

Made from 100% grain spirit, Eristoff is triple distilled and then charcoal filtered, a technique first established in 18th century Russia.

The Eristoff logo - a wolf howling at a crescent moon - represents the Persian name for Georgia, Virshan, meaning “land of the wolf”. Today, Georgia is still home to the grey wolf, which for hundreds of years has been a part of Russian culture and folklore.

History

The original Georgian version of the Russian name Eristoff or Eristov was Eristavi. The title means ‘head of the nation’ but translates more accurately as ‘head of a military force’. By the 19th century, five noble families each representing a different part of Georgia were using the name Eristhavi. Prince Ivane Eristoff who first created Eristoff vodka in 1806 was from the northwest province of Racha.

A landmark in the history of the Eristoff family and Eristoff vodka came in the late 19th century when Ivane’s great grandson, Prince Alexander Constantine Eristoff moved from Georgia to Saint Petersburg. Prince Alexander went on to enjoy a distinguished military career eventually reaching the rank of Colonel in the Imperial Guard.

The last members of the Eristoff family were Prince Nicolai Alexandrovich Eristoff, whose name appears on every bottle of Eristoff vodka, who died in 1970, and his sister, Olga, who died in 1991. Neither had children.

Eristoff vodka is now owned by the Bacardi Group.

Flavours

Eristoff is also available in three flavours: Eristoff Red – sloe berry flavour, Eristoff Black – wild berry flavour and Eristoff Limskaya – lime flavour.

Land of the wolf

Reflecting its Georgia origins, “Land of the wolf” is the new global advertising campaign for Eristoff. The campaign, which includes a 60-second cinema advert, takes as its inspiration the legends and folklore which surround the wolf.
