Belvedere Vodka is a brand of Polish rye vodka produced and distributed by LVMH.[1] It is named after Belweder, the Polish presidential palace in Warsaw, whose illustration appears on its bottles. It is produced in Żyrardów, Poland.[2]
The brand was launched in the United States in 1996 as a “luxury” liquor and is marketed as the world’s first super premium vodka.
The distillery that produces Belvedere was constructed in 1910. Production began in 1993 at the facility located at Polmos Żyrardów, Poland.
Belvedere also produces flavored vodkas which are produced using a maceration process. The brand’s flavored variants are produced by combining pure spirit with a macerated fruit, which is then distilled at a low temperature to form a macerate concentrate. The concentrated mixture is blended with the distillery’s artesian well water to bottling strength and bottled.[18] These flavors are not charcoal filtered, and are filtered through cellulose particle filters prior to bottling. This is done with the intention of ensuring essential oils that carry fruit flavors and give mouth feel are retained.
