Belvedere Organic Vodka — Polish Rye Purity

Jason Steel — Worth every penny

8/10

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 rye bread is genuinely there, the Gloriously smooth with rye spice delivers, and the Long and warming with lingering white pepper 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.

Priscilla Nunes — Not for me

4/10

I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Elegant vanilla but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The a velvety texture of extraordinary refinement described didn't come through for me. The Long and warming with lingering white pepper has a burn where I wanted clean warmth. Others clearly rate it highly so it may be personal preference. Won't be buying another bottle though.
