In 1555 Tsar Ivan the Terrible issued an Edict on the State vodka production monopoly, providing for consistency of high quality of state distilled vodka, distributed across the country exclusively through the chain of vodka taverns called Tsar’s Kabaks. Production and sale of vodka outside this rigid system was declared a capital offence punishable by the death penalty.
In line with this ancient tradition Ladoga Group is well known for their adherence to strict production standards and stringent control over the quality of vodka and its packaging.
