The original Georgian version of the name, Eristoff or Eristov, was Eristavi (ერისთავი). The title means ‘head of the nation’ but translates more accurately as ‘head of a military force’. By the 19th century, five noble families, each representing a different part of Georgia, were using the name Eristhavi. Prince Ivane Eristoff, who first created Eristoff vodka in 1806, was from the northwest province of Racha.

After Ivane’s great-grandson, Prince Alexander Constantine Eristoff, moved from Georgia to Saint Petersburg, he went on to eventually reach the rank of Colonel in the Imperial Guard.

After the Soviet takeover, the Eristovs left Georgia. One Eristavi from America serves as the new Jersey state treasurer.^[1]

Eristoff is available in four flavours:

• Eristoff Red: sloe berry flavour (Domi wodka)
• Eristoff Black: wild berry flavour
• Eristoff Pink: wild strawberry flavour
• Eristoff Lime: lime flavour

"Land of the Wolf" is the new global advertising campaign for Eristoff. The campaign, which includes a 60-second cinema advertisement, takes its inspiration from legends and folklore that surround the wolf.

The Eristoff flagship (unflavored) vodka was given Eristoff scores of 90–94 in the years between 2011 and 2014 by the Beverage Testing Institute. As of September 2014, Proof66 listed Eristoff among its Top 20 vodkas.^[2]
