Beluga Gold Line Vodka (700ml)
RUSSIAN FEDERATION
ABV: 40.00%
The Itkul Distillery (est. 1868), home of Beluga, employ the use of ‘malt spirit’ as a base for their vodka. The malt spirit is made from malted wheat, rather than a mix of grains. Reportedly, the wheat in this form possesses a large number of enzymes that aid in a completely natural fermentation, eliminating the need for additives and other ingredients. After being distilled five times, this vodka is further enriched with rice extract and golden root (rhodiola rosea) extract. This unusual adjunct is actually a traditional European practice, whereby each producer would have their own unique recipe.
The bottle comes beautifully packaged, complete with a small wooden hammer and brush to aid removing the wax seal – an appropriate touch for such a luxurious product.
Tasting note: Pristine, crystal clear appearance with a faint straw tinge. The super soft aroma is border line neutral, opening creamy and luxurious, yielding flashes of citrus blossom, talc and whisper light spices that issue a gentle prickle after deeper inhalation. An impeccably clean, supple entry leads into a round, semi sweet profile featuring a glowing spirit warmth and delicate spices adding depth and length to the creamy-yet-dry mid palate. Traces of vanilla and a herbal / pepper note become apparent towards the finish and run through to the crisp, subtle grassy, vanilla aftertaste. Even more so than most vodkas, this is textural territory, bordering on complete neutrality. A squeaky clean and highly polished effort. 40% Alc/Vol.
