How do you describe the taste of vodka? The neutral distilled spirit is distinguished by a lack of a distinctive flavor or aroma. Some even mistakenly claim that some countries like the US require vodka by law to be “tasteless, odorless, and colorless.” So if vodka is just ethanol and water, what separates one brand of vodka from another?

Born of over 600 years of Polish Vodka making tradition, Belvedere Vodka is known for using only three perfect ingredients: Rye, Water and Character

As it turns out, what goes on during the distillation and dilution process does make a difference. Low-quality vodka contains a higher level of impurities, which can affect how we think it tastes because it’s less smooth. Manufacturers sometimes use additives like sugar, glycerin, and citric acid to cover up the impurities.

Backed by 600 years of Polish vodka making tradition, Belvedere Vodka is known for using just three ingredients: rye, water, and character. Made entirely from Polish Dankowskie Gold Rye and diluted with purified artesian water from its own wells, the vodka is distilled four times to remove impurities, and it’s free from additives like sugar and glycerin.

To help us better appreciate the nuances of super premium vodka, Belvedere’s Asia Pacific brand ambassador Marek Vojcarcik mixed cocktails that embrace the flavors of nature for Belvedere’s Relearn Natural mixology session. Infusing colorful fruit, select herbs, and fresh vegetables with the purity of Belvedere Vodka, the cocktails’ flavorful natural ingredients were enhanced by the spirit’s smooth, clean finish. In the end, the crowd favorite was the campaign’s signature cocktail, the Belvedere Spritz, a light and a refreshing summer drink made with Belvedere, Lillet, grapefruit slices, and a sprig of thyme.
