Belvedere 80 Vodka Review

Filed under: Spirits

belvedere 80 vodkaIt's not easy to craft a new vodka that isn't more hype than hooch. But Belvedere gets credit for creating a discernible, interesting new expression.

Belvedere 80 Unfiltered Vodka is distilled four times from Dankowskie Diamond Rye, which is a rare and super premium baker's grade grain that gives the vodka an elegant full bodied taste that has hints of baked breads, sea salt and white pepper. Price $31.00.

The unfiltered vodka is unique for Belvedere, which follows a filtration and distillation processes with its other expressions.

The last Belvedere expression we tried was Belvedere Intense, a 100-proof vodka.

Super-premium vodka Belvedere is holding a global competition to recruit its next global brand ambassador.

The public can apply via Belvedere's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/BelvedereDreamJob!!. Entrants can upload videos demonstrating why they think they have the right stuff. The campaign kicked off on the 'Chelsea Lately' show hosted by Chelsea Handler.

The cut-off date for uploading videos is October 16 for the chance to win a one-year $100,000 contract, and the opportunity to gain international recognition while traveling the world with current Belvedere ambassador Claire Smith!

After the polls close on October 16, the semi finalists in each region around the world will be contacted about the next challenge. In December, both Chelsea Handler and Claire Smith will join the celebrity judges panel during the Finalist Competition to determine who will win the role of the Belvedere Global Ambassador in 2011.

Belvedere, named after the presidential palace of Poland, comes from a century old distillery in the small town of Żyrardow, just West of Warsaw.

Dankowskie Gold Rye is the single grain ingredient, and it is distilled four times. It typically retails for around $40.00 for a 750 ml bottle.

Belvedere & Matthew Williamson Team Up for Summer

Filed under: Apparel, Spirits



Belvedere Vodka has long had its hand in the world of fashion, as a longtime force behind Fashion Week after parties. Now they're literally dabbling in design, partnering up with noted arbiter of style Matthew Williamson, to release a limited edition kaftan in celebration of Belvedere Vodka's new flavor, Pink Grapefruit.

"My design for the Belvedere Pink Grapefruit collaboration was inspired by the vitality of sultry high summer evenings," said Williamson. "Incorporating a vibrant sun-drenched palette, the print is evocative of exotic destinations ventured by the modern-day, global traveler."

Williamson's kaftans are effortless and versatile, made from delicate, lightweight silk that's perfect to wear from the Hamptons to Dubai. And his collaboration with Belvedere sets the tone for a fun and chic lifestyle and both brands emulate. These bright neon colors and lively tropical pattern are already making me yearn for hot summer nights.

"I am thrilled to collaborate with a brand like Belvedere, which embodies a contemporary sense of luxury and vigor," said Williamson, "and the limited-edition kaftan was designed particularly with that kind of woman in Mind." MisShapes' DJ Leigh Lezark will model the kaftan for a launch party in May. You can pick up the kaftan at Matthew Williamson Stores and online beginning May 13th, the official launch date of Belvedere Pink Grapefruit vodka.

Available only until the New Year, the Belvedere Silver bottle features the brand's signature design set against a mirrored background for a modern, celebratory look.

The preciseness of the distillation process allows the distinctive notes of the vodka to come through without stripping away the subtle nuances, resulting in a smooth, creamy, peppery taste with a clean finish.

Belvedere's New IX Vodka, Inspired by the Night

Filed under: Spirits

Belvedere is introducing a new super-premium vodka made with nine special ingredients created to "embody the spirit of the night." Belvedere IX (right), which comes in glam-punk style black and pink graffiti-tagged bottle, will initially be available only in select nightclubs.

IX's nine key ingredients are ginseng, guarana, acai, ginger, sweet almond, jasmine, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and black cherry, "blended seamlessly to create a warm and enlivening note on the nose." The ingredients are individually distilled in micro-batches before being expertly blended with 100 proof Belvedere Vodka and artesian water.

IX is described as "bold and intricate with uplifting sweet spice followed by invigorating ginger warmth," and "smooth yet intense, with menthol complexity tempered by sweet almond and jasmine undercurrents," finishing with "a characteristic Belvedere flourish of vanilla and white pepper."

The bottle's distinctive design is the result of a collaboration with artist and fashion designer Andre Saraiva. It's inspired by Saraiva's iconic graffiti seen on the streets of Paris since the late 1980s. Described by Sam Keller, director of Art Basel Miami Beach, as a "social alchemist," Saraiva also co-owns Paris' Le Baron nightclub.
