Belvedere Vodka (75cl, 40%)

Belvedere Vodka is made from 100% Polish rye and artesian well water, with zero additives, no sugar and no glycerin. It is distilled four times in column stills at the Polmos Żyrardów distillery, founded in 1910, and charcoal-filtered. Launched in 1993 and introduced to the US in 1996, it follows the Polish Vodka designation, with every step of production taking place on Polish soil. The name comes from the Belweder presidential palace in Warsaw, pictured on every bottle. The nose is soft and inviting with faint vanilla and a gentle cream character. The palate is full and round with medium body, naturally smooth, rich and velvety, with light vanilla and a hint of black and white pepper. The finish is of good length, with almond, clotted cream and faint Brazil nut.
