36 reviews of Belvedere
The companion to Chopin, also a quality vodka. Not as good as Chopin at room temperature, but I thought it was better than Chopin frozen. Also, the bottle contains a very good indicator for when you've consumed too much. On the top of the corkpiece is a label seal with the words "POLISH VODKA". When you read this as "polish vodka" as opposed to "Polish Vodka", you should probably put it away. Contrary to what you may be thinking after reading "polish vodka", Belvedere isn't the greatest household cleaner...

Pleasant mild aroma. Crisp, clean and smooth, no bitter aftertaste. Very good chilled creating an almost silky smooth ride down the throat. Impressive frosted glass bottle, with cork cap forextra look of elegance. Excellent overall. Highly recommended.

In my opinion, Belvedere vodka is the best tasting and smoothest vodka.

Here is another under-rated vodka that is quite good. This is a pretty good vodka chilled or at room temperature. I found it to be very smooth with no after taste.

I would agree that Belveder Vodka is very under-rated. On some of the Grey Goose adds, they put Smirnoff above it. I feel that Belvedere is probably one of the best Vodkas in the world. It is very smooth and goes down easily not leaving a burning sensation. I feel it is best when it is slightly chilled.

Ok Vodka, but highly over rated. It is to rough., to hot and does not have the elegance that a top luxury Vodka should posess. If this were a standard priced vodka it would merit a 3 or 3.5.

I can't believe how harsh this Vodka is. After reading all of the reviews on it we thought it would be really nice. I don't recommend anyone purchase it, what a disappointment.

I find Belvedere to be of very high quality. Smooth and refreshing. Definitely deserves a higher ranking than most give it. Polish vodkas rule!

Overrated Vodka. Great bottle but harsh. Not what I expected it's no Goose but more like Fris

I've been drinking Belvedere vodka for almost 9 years. It's a superb, smooth vodka. As good as any vodka in the world.

Good stuff. Extremely smooth on hte palatte, and slightly sweet. Finish was very nice, with just a bit of bite and heat to it, which I generally don't like but I found rather enjoyable with this vodka. It almost seems like a sacriledge with a luxury vodka like this, but it does make an excellent vodka tonic. I don't know if it could dethrone my favorite mixing vodka for flavor, Ketel One, but it can certainly mix stronger without becoming unpleasant.

I have to compare this to Chopin! Second only to Chopin and that is by the slightest of margin. Cleaner tasting and not as round. Smooth finish.

Opened first bottle today, I am for sure on the Belvedere fan club. IMHO, much smoother then Grey Goose.

the bad part about this vodka is that it goes down so smooth i can finish off a whole bottle in a night and at 26.00 it gets expensive

This vodka is like off, with regards to it's taste. It is way over-rated. I would rather spend my money on a bottle or a shot of Grey Goose, Stoley's or Stoley's Gold, Kettel One or Rain.

Screw the Goose and all other likes. THE WORLDS FINEST!!! Bar none. Freeze it and drink it straight. I challenge any vodka drinker to do that and tell me it is not THE smoothest.

FORGET CHOPIN, BELVEDER, AND GREY GOOSE. TRY TETON GLACIER POTATO VODKA FROM IDAHO. IT'S GOT THEM ALL BEAT. JUST TRY, YOU'LL SEE

Tastes like a typical rye vodka, although nothing special in my opinion. If you like rye vodka, consider a cheaper brand.
Reviewer: Charmin Hassenfeffer | Score: 3
Well to be quite honest it wasn't all it is cracked up to be. I would drink it if it was free, which it was last night, but I do not think I would pay double for it (around $30USD for 700mL), compared to Luksusowa, which in my opinion is a lot smoother of a vodka.
The bottle was nice but bottles aren't everything.

I found this vodka absolutely savaged my tastebuds and scorched my throat with its violent aftertaste. The most overpriced vodka I've encountered to date.
Reviewer: Martin Bishop | Score: 2
Once again this is not a bad vodka, but it is not a great vodka either. Not worth the price and far to harsh. Not recommended

Smooth tasting, very satisfying. One of the best top shelves that I have experienced. Bye, bye Von Gogh, Chopin, Grey Goose! Hello Belve!

Smooth, elegant, but a bit too much medicinal bite for my taste. If only this vodka were a tad cheaper, I would stop dreaming about how to import Russian Standard..
Reviewer: Brian | Score: 3
Smooth, almost creamy taste, a hint of sweetness. Left a slight burn on the palate but was otherwise free of nasty aftereffects. All in all, a nice premium vodka, but a little overpriced in my opinion. Bottle comes with a nice cork cap. Not sure if this affects the flavor any, but it was a nice touch.

Wonderful vodka. Smooth as silk and almost no burn. Tied with Ciroc for my favorite.

Great vodka from Poland. Not as good as Chopin, but close. Great in a Martini
Reviewer: Jeff | Score: 5
This is a great vodka for mixing. Nice and smooth. Just a little bite at the end to let you know it is there. Comparable to Grey Goose in overall quality...which is why this isn't top rated in my book. Although quite decent, when price is factored in, I can't rate it above 3 stars simply because much better vodka exists (Some smoother, some more flavorful), and often times at much cheaper prices.

Taste isn't too bad, aftertaste okay, but it doesn't take much of it to give you a wicked hangover in the morning. Mixes decently, just be careful.

My second favorite vodka (Teton Glacier being my fav). I drink Belvedere whenever I'm eating and/or drinking out (Teton is only available at home - bars don't carry it because it's not hyped up like many other vodkas). I can't believe some of the bad reviews I've read regarding Belvedere's smoothness and taste. Let's remember vodka is a neutral spirit - that is it's not supposed to have any color, odor, or taste with just the right amount of burn at the back or your throat. Belvedere is by far the smoothest vodka (next to Teton) when drinking it straight and mixes quite well also. I would also put it against any other vodka (save for Ceroc) for a clean nose (no strong medicine or alcohol smell). While Ceroc has the cleanest nose it tastes like grapes - not neutral. If you can't get Teton Glacier then Belvedere is the way to go!

had this in quantity for several days on a work trip to vancouver... smooth, nice texture and pleasantly sweet starchy taste, but a bitter finish... bottom line, not as good as luksusowa and more expensive lands it 4 stars.

Medium butter nose, toasted almond, starch burlap, anise and pepper body, medium sweet finish. As far as Rye vodkas go, this one is a fair entry. A note, I taste all my vodkas straight, frozen *and* room temperature, hence I do not tend to review viscosity.
