Belvedere Single Estate Rye – Smogory Forest Vodka

Detailed Description

One of two vodkas released by Belvedere released part of their Single Estate Rye range in late 2017. This particular edition was crafted using rye grown on a single estate in Smogóry, a village in Poland surrounded by forests. The range aims to show off the terroir and quality of the rye grain which goes to making Belvedere’s spirits. Compare it to the expression made with rye grown on the shores of Lake Bartezek.
