Kubanskaya
Encyclopedia
The name Kubanskaya refers to a Russian, flavoured brand of vodka or nastoyka with a touch of lemon. 40% alcohol. Bottle volume 50cl. The highly recognizable label http://media.photobucket.com/image/kubanskaya+vodka+/alivebarmaley/Vodka/Kubanskaya.jpg on the bottle depicts a Cossack on a horse.
The original Kubanskaya was produced by the renowned Kristall
vodka factory in Moscow, the origin of Stolichnaya vodka. The beverage became insanely popular among expatriates living in Moscow during the 90's of the 20th century, due to its its pleasant taste and the relatively low hangover risk. Another major factor leading to this popularity was the cult song Kubanskaya

The 1998 Russian financial crisis triggered an exodus of the Moscow expats. Consequently, Kristall ceased production of Kubanskaya. Kubanskaya vodka is still for sale in Russian stores, but is produced by less-known factories. While the taste resembles the taste of the original Kristall brand, connaisseurs are able to taste the difference.
