Belvedere Vodka, 70cl

Product Information

Vodka can be made from almost anything. We’ve tested those made from potatoes, grains, grapes and even sugarcane. This is then fermented, before being distilled (often multiple times) to remove impurities — look out for this on the label. If you’re going to go for Absolut, you should make it Elyx — the brand’s most premium bottle in the range. The Swedish spirit is made with wheat and opens with a bright citrus nose. You’ll get homemade bread, warm and buttered, sweet honey and rough sea salt, a hint of caramel, and delicate notes of marzipan. This vodka is strictly for the connoisseurs. It proudly honours its origins, and should be drunk when simply no other vodka will do.

Belvedere has always championed the signature depth and complexity that comes from rye, and unlike more neutral ingredients, such as wheat or corn, rye imparts a distinct taste and character. Made from only Polska rye, purified water and a distillation process by fire, Belvedere contains zero additives, is certified kosher, and is produced in accordance with the legal regulations of Polska vodka that dictate nothing can be added.Special Delivery Requests?

Soft and smooth, with hints of cream and spice, this vodka is quadruple-distilled with purified water from Belvedere’s own artesian wells. Very fancy! Belvedere uses only Polish-grown rye sourced from eight local farms. Following fermentation, it undergoes a triple distillation to produce a spirit of great purity which is also full of flavour. As well as the flagship Belvedere Pure expression, the distillery produces some super premium versions that highlights the flavour and terroir of rye grown in Poland including the Belvedere Heritage 176 made with a proportion of high flavour malted rye spirit, and various single estate bottlings. There’s also a range of flavoured vodkas. What was once called 58 Gin, is now 58 & Co, as the brand moves into other spirit categories. The vodka is a simple, straight-forward affair, using nothing but 100% British wheat.

And while rum is often associated with sunnier climates (such as the Caribbean), and tequila coming strictly from Mexico, vodka is a much more global spirit. We tested bottles from here in the UK and across Europe, with our winning bottle surprisingly coming from South Africa. How we test vodka More commonly associated with top-notch Japanese whisky, Nikka also makes luxury vodka. Applying the same approach, the blend of corn and barley is made using a traditional 'coffey' still, before being filtered through charcoal. Our bins hold 18-24 bottles of wine or Champagne or 2-3 cases of lager when filled with ice and water. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. The vodka is so creamy it’s hard to believe it hasn’t been filtered, but after quadruple distillation, there’s no need to filter it multiple times like other vodkas. What you get without filtration is something bold and flinty, yet well-rounded and smooth.
