This terroir-driven expression of Belvedere is crafted from Diamond Dankowskie rye grown exclusively on a single estate in the village of Smogóry Forest, western Poland.
The palate is bold, lacking the creaminess of the Lake Bartezek bottling, replacing that with an aggressive punch of racy spice, sauteed mushrooms, fresh herbs, and a grind or two of pepper.
Though subtle and nuanced, the character of the grain emerges joyfully on both nose and palate. Each sip delivers a gentle mix of fruit and spice, before a pleasant botanical finish.
Though it has a bit of spice to it, this vodka would make a lovely spirit forward cocktail like a Martini or Vesper, and would also be a option to drink neat or on the rocks for die-hard vodka fans.
