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.
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.
The Bistro Recipe:
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%.
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.

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!"
