Beluga Noble Russian Vodka
Plain 40% ABV Mariinsky DistilleryDisappointing for the price
Bit disappointed. The nose is fine — I got some Candied cereals — but on the palate it's too one-dimensional. At £35, I expect more character. The vanilla drops off quickly. The tasting notes in the review didn't match my experience. Might work better in cocktails than neat.
Beluga Noble Russian Vodka is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got light spiciness and honey. On the palate, the lemon zest is beautifully done, and the Medium-short and silky — sweet green notes. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
