Monk Isidore Vodka
Over the years, vodka has been refined and expanded upon. We believe that Monk Isidore had the perfect recipe all those years ago, and have strived to keep his story alive today. Using complex and traditional distilling methods, we have created a smooth and compelling drink that the famous monk would be proud of.

Known originally as “bread wine”, Monk Isidore’s creation was produced over many years for the Grand Duchy of Moscow, who was a huge fan of the drink.
Isidore’s “bread wine” was later coined as “Vodka” in 1751 by Empress Elizabeth. The rest, as they say, is history.

As the original home for Monk Isidore (and his Vodka), the Chudov Monastery holds a special place in Russia’s history.
Founded within the Moscow Kremlin in 1358, it was one of the most revered centres of book culture and learning in its’ time.
Unfortunately, the monastery was closed in 1918. However, in 2014, it was announced that it would be restored as a historical monument by officials.
