Beluga Noble Celebration Vodka
Beluga Noble Celebration Vodka is an 80 proof (40% ABV), 750mL limited-edition vodka honoring the 115th anniversary of the Mariinsk Distillery in Siberia (est. 1900). The liquid is the same award-recognized Beluga Noble — malt spirit from Siberian winter grain and pure artesian water drawn from 300-meter-deep wells, triple-filtered and rested for 30 days — dressed in a celebratory bottle with double platinum coating and gold lacquer applied by vacuum metallization, finished with silk-screen printing and Beluga's hand-fitted fish emblem on every bottle. Natural honey, oat infusion, milk thistle, and a touch of vanilla give it its signature rounded character. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Gold Bottle for a Siberian Anniversary
The Celebration is Beluga's dress-up version of its flagship Noble, issued for the 115th anniversary of the Mariinsk Distillery — one of Siberia's oldest, founded in 1900. The vodka inside is identical to standard Beluga Noble: a malt-spirit vodka built on deep artesian water, filtered through quartz sand and a 10.5-meter charcoal column enriched with silver, and rested 30 days after filtration. What changes is the presentation: the gold-lacquered bottle is the point, making it the Beluga to give rather than the one to keep for the home freezer — though at heart it is the same 95-point (Wine Enthusiast) spirit as the standard Noble.
Tasting Notes
Beluga's brand sheet describes "natural honey, infusion of oats and extracts of Silybum and vanilla" making the flavor "multifaceted, complete... and, in one word, ideal." Total Wine's house copy finds it triple-filtered and extensively rested, with a "pure, balanced flavor and aroma — lightly malty with a distant hint of flowers." Retail reviewers (The Liquor Barn) note faint lemon zest and pink peppercorn over a subtle malty undertone from the barley-spirit base, with a sweet honeyed aftertaste. Expect silky, rounded, and ultra-smooth rather than sharp or neutral.
How to Enjoy
Serve Beluga Celebration ice-cold, neat, in a chilled or frozen glass — the way Russian premium vodka is meant to be drunk. At 40% with its honey-and-oat roundness, it also makes an exceptionally smooth vodka martini with a minimal vermouth wash.
