Belvedere Vodka
Belvedere Vodka is the original super-premium vodka — launched in 1993 and introduced to the US in 1996 as "the world's first super premium vodka." At 40% ABV (80 proof), it is made from 100% Polish rye, distilled four times at the historic Polmos Żyrardów distillery (founded 1910) and crafted with artesian well water, with zero additives, no sugar and no glycerin. It follows the Polish Vodka designation: every step of production happens on Polish soil. A 750mL bottle. Order vodka online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Palace on the Bottle
Belvedere takes its name from the Belweder presidential palace in Warsaw — the landmark pictured on every bottle. Where many vodkas chase neutrality through endless distillation, Belvedere's character comes from its rye: soft vanilla and cream notes that survive the four distillations intact, a signature of the Dankowskie and now organic Diamond rye harvests.

Tasting Notes
Brand product-deck notes: soft and inviting on the nose with faint vanilla and a gentle cream character; full and round with medium body on the palate — naturally smooth, rich and velvety, light vanilla swaying sweet and savory with a hint of black and white pepper; a good-length finish of almond, clotted cream and faint Brazil nut.
How to Enjoy
Chilled neat or in a proper vodka Martini — the rye character deserves to be tasted, not buried. It also elevates a Moscow Mule beyond the ordinary.
