ABOUT Belvedere Vodka
First introduced to North America in 1996, Belvedere Vodka was the first to create a new standard for excellence in the vodka category and is credited with creating the luxury vodka segment. Today, Belvedere's distinctive character and uncompromising integrity are recognized internationally by discriminating vodka enthusiasts, who appreciate its all-natural, additive-free purity. Made entirely from Dankowskie Gold Rye and blended with water from Belvedere's own pristine source, Belvedere Vodka has a taste profile that's distinctively soft with a subtle sweetness and naturally smooth, clean finish.
In 2011, Belvedere partnered with (RED)™ to launch a special-edition bottle to raise proceeds for the Global Fund to fight HIV and AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria™. Fifty percent of profits from the global sale of (BELVEDERE) RED special-edition bottles will contribute to the Global Fund to fight HIV and AIDS in Africa. The special edition allows consumers to enjoy the same naturally smooth, unadulterated Belvedere Vodka found within the original bottle, while helping to eliminate HIV/AIDS through a simple purchase of the Belvedere (PRODUCT) RED.
Also in 2011, Belvedere introduced Bloody Mary to its award-winning Maceration collection (joining Pink Grapefruit, Citrus, Orange, and Black Raspberry). Belvedere Bloody Mary-which combines super-premium vodka with a maceration of fresh tomato, black pepper, horseradish, bell and chile peppers, vinegar distillate, and lemon-received double gold medals in the "50 Best Flavored Vodkas" category by thefiftybest.com.
The addition of Belvedere's two new products completes the super-premium vodka collection along with Belvedere Unfiltered, created from 100 percent rare Dankowskie Diamond Rye. The rye possesses such a naturally creamy, rich flavor that after being distilled four times, the vodka is left unfiltered in order to preserve its character and taste.
