Evaluation: Belvedere 10 Vodka – Drinkhacker


Prepared for a brand new ultra-ultra-premium vodka? Try Belvedere 10, “an all-new luxurious vodka of true liquid brilliance.”

The vodka is distilled from natural diamond rye grown on a single discipline in Poland and is rested for 10 months after distillation earlier than bottling. It’s that bottle that’s seemingly to attract your eye at first: It’s an opaque, white, faceted bottle that stands 16 inches tall, designed to evoke the sides of a diamond. The image tells the story, however do measure out the peak should you’re contemplating choosing one up, simply to make sure it should match on the shelf. So as to add to the mystique, the bottle comes packaged inside a black velvet bag.

In order that’s the backstory. How about what’s within the bottle?

Clear however quiet on the nostril, there’s a slight grassiness and some lemon peel notes right here, adopted by a slight saltiness that evokes a be aware of olive brine. Time in glass permits an earthy high quality to return into clearer focus, virtually like nice floor white pepper.

Given this fragrant profile, the palate is surprisingly revealed as fairly candy, balancing notes of honey and nougat with a big coconut high quality — extra coconut water than coconut meat or husk. Over time, chocolate clearly emerges, then a touch of cinnamon because the end builds — the sweetness lingering for longer than I anticipated.

Belvedere 10 feels prefer it’s designed for the membership crowd, pairing superbly with nearly any mixer you can assume to throw at it. Naturally, its inherent sweetness makes it a straightforward sipper as nicely, maybe dangerously so. Whereas these on the lookout for that bracing Previous World expertise received’t gravitate to the creamy, dessert-like expertise right here, I feel even vodka purists could discover this distinctive expertise a refreshing change of tempo. No pun meant.

80 proof.
