ORGANIC

USDA Organic Certification on Bottle’s Back

Good to Know!Belvedere is the first luxury vodka to commit to fully organic.

PALACE

1993 Polmos Żyrardów sought to create its own luxury blend that would distinguish it from the other distilleries. Calling this new vodka Belvedere after the Belweder Palace (Pałac Belwederski) in nearby Warsaw. The name of the Palace translates as “beautiful to see” and this grand yet elegant building sits high above a landscaped park. The first bottles of Belvedere vodka were produced in 1994 and the new vodka quickly gained a reputation amongst Poles for being among the finest available.

EASTER EGGS

Each bottle has a unique 'Gold Window' and a Belvedere 'B' flag.

Why a Gold Window? That's where a party is happening!

DID YOU KNOW? We have created 4 variations of gold windows on the palace. These will all be within the one listed SKU. This design feature will offer a subtle ‘easter egg’ surprise to delight consumers, each bottle may be slightly different to their last purchase.

THE TASTE

DISTINCTIVE TASTE AND CHARACTER Belvedere Organic Vodka is the world’s first Luxury Polish Vodka, produced in Poland’s longest operating vodka distillery, founded in 1910. Belvedere Organic Vodka is created from 100% organic rye. Belvedere’s Master Rye Distillers draw from a 600-year-old polish vodka-making tradition, to artfully craft Polish rye into an extraordinary vodka of distinct taste and character.

COCKTAILS

RYE

TIP: Point to the word VODKA in blue and share what makes Belvedere distinct: 100% Organic Rye vodka!

Belvedere vodka is made from 100% Organic Polish Rye! This is a key differentiator from other vodkas which are more commonly made from wheat or potato. Our Rye is a hearty grain called “Winter Rye,” able to thrive throughout the harsh Polish winters, gaining in character in much the same way grapevines thrive in challenging terroir.

RYE

All Polish Rye is non-GMO. Additionally, Belvedere's rye is 100% organic. Rye imparts more flavor and character into our vodka than other grains would. Think of the difference between white bread, which is wheat-based, and rye bread and you’ll understand why Belvedere has more character than wheat vodkas.

RYE

Belvedere sources from 8 Polish farms, enabling full traceability of the grain and a pioneering sustainable approach. And everyone’s favorite fun fact: it takes 80 pounds of Rye to create 1 bottle of Belvedere!

WATER

TIP: Look all the way at the base of the bottle where it says "40% ALC./VOL." We use this to talk about Water and how we are 100% Natural.

40% of the liquid in this bottle is pure rye spirit. Water is the other 60%. That is why we take our water seriously. We are one of the few distilleries in the world to own a pristine water source. The water is put through an 11-stage purification process to produce a pure, soft and neutral palate for our vodka.

40% pure spirit + 60% purified water = 100% Natural!

WATER

Most vodkas excel at being neutral. But at Belvedere, only our water is neutral to allow the spicy, bold, flavorful rye character to shine through. Then we add absolutely nothing, because we don’t have to. We invite you to taste the difference.

THE FIRST

TIP: Pointing at the brand name Belvedere is your opportunity to share the fact that it is the First Super Premium Vodka. In 1993, Belvedere vodka became the very first Super Premium Vodka. Due to Belvedere’s immediate recognition for craftsmanship using only two pure ingredients, rye and water, it set the standard for all quality vodkas to follow. It is considered the vodka with character and is named after Poland’s Presidential Palace. Belvedere pioneered the Super Premium Vodka category and continues this pioneering heritage as we release new innovations such as our two single estate rye vodkas. Belvedere was also the first spirit brand to use a sleek frosted bottle. Belvedere’s distinctive bottle design is decorated in Poland using a state-of-the-art, time-consuming, multi-stage process. Go ahead, touch it!

PROUDLY POLISH

TIP: Look how prominently the word POLAND is displayed. Ever wonder why? Belvedere vodka is Proudly Polish because Poland boasts a vodka appellation, much like Champagne or Cognac in France. This appellation enforces the strictest vodka production regulations in the world. America, Russia and France have no such vodka appellation. Many consider Poland to be the birthplace of vodka, but regardless of the debate we sit in the heart of the vodka production belt.

PROUDLY POLISH

Belvedere Vodka is produced at Polmos Żyrardów in the town of Żyrardów. Established in 1910, Polmos Żyrardów is the longest continuously operating distillery in Poland. We proudly lean heavily on Poland’s 600 years of vodka making tradition. Polish Vodka requires that no additives can be used: only spirit and water in the bottle! Belvedere Organic Vodka proudly contains zero additives, flavoring agents or sugar - and gluten free! This heritage sets us apart from the competition and defines why we are Proudly Polish.

DIRTY BREW

A ready-to-serve spirit with a bold coffee flavor, followed by a smooth hint of organic rye vodka.

It is made for sharing, as shots or on ice, shifting the night into high-energy mode. We are called “Dirty Brew”: Inspired by the brew method, and the “dirty coffee” trend.
