We agree with those among us who prefer Ukrainian names for traditional Ukrainian products. With us, the authentic Ukrainian origin and nature of the great prize-winning vodkas we import is crucial information. Great things come from Ukraine. It was our family ties to the Sumy district of Ukraine that led us there.

Clearly, the time has come to make our product names authentically Ukrainian.

From now on, our brand name will be “Soomska.” As a replacement for “Soomskaya Riabinovaya” we are introducing, “Soomska Horobynova.” This is the same Gold Medal winning ashberry flavored vodka as Riabinovaya, but with new packaging. We are also introducing “Horilka Pryhodko,” a prize-winning herbal flavored vodka. These are both authentic Ukrainian spirits made in Ukraine and imported directly from the factory in Sumy. You really can’t get any better than that.

By the way, our CEO (Andrei Hartt) is 1/4 Ukrainian, 1/4 Russian and pure American.

Love things Ukrainian. Extend a hand to their struggle for independence and self-sufficiency. Buy superior Ukrainian products.

Bood’mo!

Ukrainian Vodka Flavored With Herbs

Horilka is the Ukrainian word for Vodka. It is an ancient term for the spirits first created in Ukraine’s heartland almost 800 years ago. “Horilka” typically includes many different vodkas with a variety of flavors or just plain vodka.

Soomska Horilka Pryhodko, flavored with St. John’s Wort (Zvirobiy) and Buffalo Grass (Zubrivka), together with a secret selection of other fine herbs, is an authentic horilka for which Ukraine is so well known. An extremely smooth vodka, perfect for cold shots and mixed drinks with a special twist.

Soomska Horilka Pryhodko (under previous label Soomskaya) was awarded the Silver Medal (89) points by the BTI World Spirits Championships. Their following review was published in Wine Enthusiast Magazine (April 1998).

“Herb Flavored Vodka. Moderately full-bodied. Lemon sorbet, wild herbs, flowers. Has subtle hints of exotic flora on the palate, with good presence and depth. Definitely one of the better new vodkas on the market.”

Ashberry Flavored Vodka

Soomska Horobynova is an authentic flavored vodka from Ukraine, where the world’s finest vodkas have long been created. Born in Ukraine’s Sumy region, of icy cold artesian spring water and spirits distilled from golded Ukrainian wheat, it is flavord with the Horobyna (from the legendary rowan tree)–an orange-red berry widely cherished for its unique flavor and other, more magical properties.

Soomska Horobynova (with previous label Soomskaya Riabinovaya) was awarded the Gold Medal (92 points) by the BTI World Spirits Championships. Their following review was published in Wine Enthusiast Magazine (April 1998):

“Soomska(ya) Horobynova. Pink salmon in appearance. Moderately full-bodied. Wildflowers, honey, dried cranberries, mineral aromatics. Superb integration with rich flavors on the palate. Something very unique and worth searching out. One of our favorites. Best Buy.”
