UNRIVALLED SMOOTHNESS
Belvedere Vodka releases a new icon: Belvedere 10.

Paying tribute to Belvedere’s origins, Belvedere 10 is inspired by the vodka making process used in 1910 when the distillery was first established. That recipe has now been remastered for a new generation, who demands only the very best. Indeed, everything about the crafting of this rare spirit has been meticulously considered. The quest for perfection has led Belvedere’s expert’s distillers to specify the very best ingredients, conditions and production processes: one rye, one farm, one field, one harvest.

The spirit is then rested for exactly ten months to marry the unique flavours and elevate the velvety smooth mouthfeel.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Fascinating, multi-faceted aromas of coconut, cacao and vanilla with a hint of fresh lemon.

PALATE: An opulent and creamy mouthfeel leads to light honeyed sweetness, with bursts of caramel and green coffee.

FINISH: Honed, elegant and smooth, with lasting hints of nutty praline and rich dark cacao. Flawless to the end.

Crafted with rare Diamond Dankowskie Rye from a single estate located on the shores of Lake Bartężek in Poland’s Masurian Lake District, this exceptionally fresh, smooth and delicate vodka reflects the unique terroir of its estate. Snowy, cold winters stress the rye and develop the vodka’s delicate, refined character – more reminiscent of the region’s calm lakes than its harsh climate.

The Single Estate Rye Series celebrates Belvedere’s craftsmanship and expertise in vodka distilling, as well as our ability to produce vodkas of complex character. When tasted side by side, the two vodkas deliver demonstrably different taste profiles, illustrating the variation of terroir on the same Dankowskie Diamond rye grown in each unique location.

With Belvedere Heritage 176 (2020 Ultimate Spirits Challenge - Finalist - 94 Points), Belvedere’s Master Rye Distillers apply fire to the rye before distillation, to further demonstrate its potential for nuanced taste. Belvedere Heritage 176 is quite simply a taste of vodka’s past. Up until the 19th century, Polish Vodka-makers relied on the old technique of ‘malting’, using fire-kilned drying —a tradition which also naturally revealed rich and distinctive flavors. Over time, as the vodka category expanded, and technology evolved, these old traditions sadly faded out, and vodka became more associated with neutrality.

Belvedere challenges neutrality and believes that rye, the heart of our brand, delivers both distinctive taste and character. To demonstrate this further, Belvedere has revived this traditional malting technique which unlocks rich depth, flavor and complexity that would otherwise remain hidden in the rye. Rich, full-bodied and complex, with hints of honey, walnut and allspice, Heritage 176 is best savored over ice with a lemon twist. Discover the taste of vodka’s past.

Belvedere Unfiltered is the outcome of using 100% "Single Estate" Dankowskie Diamond Rye to create a vodka of exceptional quality. This particular grain, known for its baker's grade, not only serves as a base for vodka production but can also be used to bake a delicious loaf of bread with the remaining elements. Thanks to its inherent creaminess, the vodka undergoes quadruple distillation without the need for multiple filtrations typically required by most vodkas. Belvedere recognized the unique character of this vodka straight from the still and decided to bottle it as is.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The aroma evokes the comforting sensation of homemade bread baking in the oven, accompanied by delicate hints of marzipan.

Palate: A creamy texture unveils flavors of honey and a touch of sea salt. Upon closer exploration, a flinty quality adds complexity while maintaining a smooth and well-rounded character.

Finish: The finish brings to mind the warmth of buttered bread, maintaining a creamy essence until the very end.

Belvedere Unfiltered Rare Diamond Rye Vodka exemplifies the brand's commitment to utilizing premium ingredients and showcasing their natural qualities. This vodka presents a unique and enticing experience for discerning vodka enthusiasts, appreciating its distinctive flavors and craftsmanship.
