Belvedere is made from just two ingredients, Polish Dankowskie rye and purified water, with nothing added to soften or mask the spirit. That simplicity is the whole point. It's quadruple distilled at Poland's oldest continuously operating vodka distillery, founded in 1910, using techniques refined over 600 years of Polish vodka-making tradition. The result is a vodka with real character, vanilla, almond, and a hint of black pepper, rather than the neutral blankness a lot of vodka is built around. It holds up neat over ice, and it's the bottle worth using when you're making a Martini you actually want to taste, not just one that gets the job done.
