History & Background

Smirnoff Black (sometimes labelled Black Label) sits above the standard No. 21 as the brand's premium tier internationally, positioned as a sipping-quality vodka rather than a pure mixing base. Coverage of this variant specifically within India is thinner than for the mainstream flavoured line — several general Smirnoff guides mention it by name in passing ("Smirnoff Black 70cl") without dedicated state-wise pricing, which likely reflects narrower distribution compared to No. 21 and the core flavours. Verify current state-by-state availability before treating it as a pan-India stocked item the way No. 21 or Green Apple are.

Production & Maturation

Production Method

Quadruple-distilled (one additional distillation pass over the standard No. 21 process) for extra smoothness, no added flavouring.

About These Prices

Prices are indicative, not quotations. They are compiled from publicly available retail listings and state excise price lists, and are provided for reference only.
Alcohol pricing in India is set state by state. Excise duty, VAT and retail margins differ in every state and union territory, so the same bottle can vary by 40% or more between Goa and Kerala. Always check the price where you are buying.
Prices change without notice. State excise policies are typically revised annually, and retailers may price above or below the listed MRP depending on stock and demand. The figures above were last reviewed in August 2026.
We do not sell alcohol. The Spirit Atlas is an independent reference site. We take no orders, hold no stock, and have no commercial relationship with the distilleries or retailers documented here. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell.
Tasting notes and ratings are editorial opinion. They reflect the reviewer's assessment and are not endorsed by the producer.
For readers of legal drinking age. The legal drinking age in India varies by state, from 18 to 25. Please respect your local law and drink responsibly.
