Beluga Noble Vodka
Beluga is a noble Russian vodka that is famous worldwide, but can be quite hard to get your hands on in Australia. Thanks to its aristocratic origins and idyllic quality, Beluga has claimed its rightful place in the global culture of spirit satisfaction and consumption. Beluga is created at the Mariinksy Distillery.
The Mariinsky distillery was established in 1900 in the heart of Siberia in one of the most environmentally clean and tranquil regions of Russia. Water is the key component in the production of Beluga Noble Russian Vodka, accounting for 60% of its unique formula. It comes from 300-metre-deep artesian well in the bedrock of Siberia. Also used in Beluga's special recipe is a special malt spirit rarely found today in other vodka due to its cost and labour-intensive production.
Beluga Vodka finds a likely companion in oysters, both having a common bond in filtration and time spent conditioning - Beluga for three months after its multiple filtrations, the first through quartz. Tony Love from The Courier Mail even stating “the so-called odourless and tasteless drink is a conduit for elevating the flavours of seafood. Made near Novosibirsk with artesian water and malt, Beluga has a grain flavour and a very subtle, elegant sense of botanicals in its floral aroma. Minimalist, yet decadent.”
