One field, one harvest, one diamond rye, 10 months in the making – Belvedere is redefining what vodka can be with its newest release, Belvedere 10
Belvedere, the luxury vodka announces the release of a new icon: Belvedere 10, a vodka of flawless character. Taste, vision and mastery collide as this singular spirit, encased in a striking, sculpted bottle that demands attention, delivers a statement of opulence and standout liquid brilliance.
The bottle stands at an extravagant ten levels tall, in tribute to the liquid’s meticulous 10-step creation process. The white hue of the bottle reflects the spirit’s purity, while its chiselled facets give a diamond-like sparkle – a nod to the precious organic diamond rye used to make the spirit.
Such an uncompromising new release demands a standout premiere. And it is fitting that House of Gods, Glasgow, with its towering opulence across five floors, will showcase the new spirit.
The making of Belvedere 10
10 is made annually in small batches from one rye, one farm, one field, one harvest, with a meticulous 10-step creation process:
Rye selection Heritage organic Dankowskie Diamond rye is chosen for its nuanced and refined character. The rye is planted in August, in one field of the Bartężek estate, in Poland’s Masurian Lake District and cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices, nurtured by snow and sun.
Harvest Around a year after planting, the rye is harvested.
Heating The annual batch of rye is gently heated over fire with water to produce a mash full of character.
Fermentation In the distillery, Belvedere uses a unique distiller’s yeast and enzymes to help create a rye spirit packed with flavour.
Quadruple distillation Harnessing the energy of fire, small-batch distillation through copper columns is used to elevate the character, depth and dimension of the rye.
Filtration Every drop passes through natural cellulose filters, designed to retain the spirit’s clarity and brightness, while enhancing flavour.
Resting The spirit is rested for 10 months to enhance and develop smoothness.
