A Parisian Tradition Born in Montmartre

In 1814 the Russian army was in Paris. Although they were not allowed to drink in pubs, they were served vodka when they asked for a quick drink. “Quick” being “быстро” (bistro) in Russian. Thus the Parisian “Bistro,” a place to have a quick drink or light meal was born.  

Premium French Wheat Vodka

Bistro Vodka is made from top quality French wheat. Distilled five times in a triple pot still. The results are a perfectly balanced, clean and light vodka with an ABV of 40%.

Bistro is a world-famous French word with a Russian origin. It originally meant «quick». That’s what Russian soldiers used to ask Parisian bartenders back in the 19th century: "a vodka, quick!"

The Spiritique Story

Three men standing against a white wall, dressed in business casual attire, with one in a jacket, one in a blazer, and one in a suit.

Spiritique began when three veterans of the spirit business decided to get together and create a company that specializes in quality French Spirits made from the best ingredients, presented in really handsome packaging. 

Every Spiritique product is carefully crafted in France, respecting tradition while embracing innovation.

Tasting Notes

A well rounded and highly refined nose, somewhat floral, with a nice freshness. Clean, crisp, and delicate on the palate, with soft aromatic nuances and a light lingering finish. No bitterness or afterburn.

"Hints of toasted coconut and charcoal frame this light, wheat-based vodka. A faint vanilla sugar note leads into white pepper and ginger heat on the exhale. The elegant blue-tinted, fluted-glass bottle is one to display on a bar cart." Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast 2024

94 points. Finalist. Excellent/Highly Recommended. 
"Clean and peppery aromas with plenty of minerals and subtle lime zest make for a refreshing nose. The pillowy soft texture enhances the gentle sweetness, reminiscent of honeydew. The finish is clean and subtly floral." (Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023
