What exactly is 'osobaya sayanskaya' in House of Cards S03E03?
In the S03E03 of House of Cards, the Russian president brings this vodka for the US president. Is this real or just a made up vodka since I couldn't find any results on google. Cheers!
Best Answer
Nope, it appears to be totally fictional.
It's referred to as $750,000, with a bottle of gold.
That could be real, except that it doesn't appear to be.
You can spend that much on a bottle of Russian vodka, but none of the bottles look like that.

Answer 2
Osobaya Sayanskaya literally translates to Sayanskaya Deluxe or Special Sayanskaya, possibly implying that its origins are in the Sayan Mountains region. There is no real brand of vodka like that, although Sayanskaya Kristaljnaya (Crystal Sayanskaya) vodka does seem to exist. It’s not at all famous or of known special quality however.
Answer 3
No, it's not real, but it was probably based on russobaltique vodka.
