Belvedere
Wheat 40% ABV ABV Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH
6 April 2026
Decent everyday vodka
A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has Rich and complex — vanilla cream — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you Full-bodied and velvety, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The Long and warming with lingering white pepper is clean.

My new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift — I also picked up white pepper that the review mentions. On the palate, Full-bodied and velvety is spot on, and there's a richness that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with Long and warming with lingering white pepper. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.

Simply brilliant
I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The white pepper on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, Full-bodied and velvety is rich and satisfying, with rye spice developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 40% ABV, the proof is perfectly judged.

Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you white pepper and lovely character, and on the palate it's all about Full-bodied and velvety. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with clove spice. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.

A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Full-bodied and velvety are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The a clean fade is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.

Good but not great
Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the Rich and complex — vanilla cream that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The Full-bodied and velvety is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the a clean fade is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.

Belvedere is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got white pepper and subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift. On the palate, the Creamy vanilla is beautifully done, and the clove spice. 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.

Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Rich and complex — vanilla cream and some subtlety, but on the palate the Creamy vanilla doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The a clean fade is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
14 February 2026
Expected more
Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised Rich and complex — vanilla cream and white pepper, but the palate is flat and the a clean fade disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The Creamy vanilla the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.

Worth every penny
I was reading the tasting notes in the review and thought they sounded too good to be true for a vodka, but they're accurate. The subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift is genuinely there, the Creamy vanilla delivers, and the clove spice is exactly as described. Served this at a tasting with friends last weekend — everyone was surprised how much character it has. We did a blind comparison against two other brands and this won hands down.

Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The Rich and complex — vanilla cream is the highlight — subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift and well-presented. On the palate, the rye spice is fine but not exciting. At $30, I'd expect more character. The clove spice is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.

Pleasant enough
I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Rich and complex — vanilla cream is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The rye spice is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.

My new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with white pepper — I also picked up subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift that the review mentions. On the palate, rye spice is spot on, and there's a almond with excellent weight on the palate that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with a clean fade. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.

Beautifully balanced
One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift promises quality, and the palate delivers with almond with excellent weight on the palate. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The clove spice ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The rye base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: almond with excellent weight on the palate with Creamy vanilla. Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH has clearly mastered their craft.

Blown away by this vodka
Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — Beautifully textured with rye spice. The finish has clove spice that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.
