Excellent stuff! I must say that the taste of Belvedere definitively appeals to me. One of the best brands on the market.

How can I rate Belvedere Vodka???????????????

I L.O.V.E. Belvedere Vodka. It is the smoothest vodka out there!!!!

Goodness, this really is an over-rated vodka. I discovered one called Russian Shot for less than half the price of the Belvedere and it was a better vodka! Smoother, creamier and well done. My own review on Belvedere very much reflects the opinions here.

Cheers :)

Very good Polish rye vodka, smooth and sweet. In my tasting I chose it as slightly better than Chopin, a Polish potato vodka, and usually I prefer the potato.

Alright I decided to do this test with a fellow spirit critique to get things right.

We did a blind taste test between Belvedere, 360 Vodka and Sobieski. With lime in between tests, and a swig or two of water to cleanse the pallet.

We rate the vodkas and smoothness and taste…

Both me and my fellow taster rated Belvedere as the smoothest, without much of a burn. We rated 360 with the most taste, with a very crisp front like taking a breath of air after a new fallen snow. The Sobieski was a great in between. However, what gave it away was the ethanol smell that the Belvedere and 360 lacked.

Over all I loved the Belvedere, thought it was smooth and had a very neutral taste. However I got it on sale for 23 bucks at a local grocery store. I would never pay for a 37 dollar bottle of vodka (which is the normal price around here). Factoring in the taste with the vodka, its “okay”. I would expect a vodka to go down way smoother, and with less bite for almost 40 bucks for a 750ml.

When you could easily pay 20 dollars for the same bottle of 360 vodka, or even less for Sobieski, seems impractical even if someone can afford the high price tag.

Again, loved the vodka, thought it was smooth and right on. But it was nothing I couldn’t get in a cheaper priced vodka.

This stuff has a mild smell – faintly citrusy. Not the most odorless vodka I’ve encountered, but the scent is pretty minimal.

The taste also smacks of citrus, something like a dry gin. However, it’s got quite a burn to it, though not enough to elicit a cough. It’s not nearly as smooth an experience as I had hoped for. The aftertaste is a bit sweet… also a little bitter. It certainly lingers, in any case.

Overall, it’s not a bad vodka, but it’s pretty ordinary, and grossly overpriced at $30 a fifth. I’d give this three stars for flavor alone, but in light of the price, I’m giving it 2 stars.

I finally had a chance to try a Belvedere martini last night, and must say that it reminded me very much of Grey Goose. The flavor was a little softer than the Goose, but the bitterness and the burn on swallowing was similar. Of the seven vodkas that I have rated so far, I would rate it sixth, just ahead of Grey Goose. It’s not bad, but with the far superior Tito’s at home or the very nice Ketel One readily available at most bar and restaurants, I would have little reason to select it again.

Well, my friend and I did the big vodka showdown. Sobieski, Svedka, Belvedere, Grey Goose and Chopin. All were room temp or slightly cooled. I found Belvedere to be less sweet and more mellow compared to Sobieski head to head. Overall, I preferred Belvedere, but I was rooting for Sobieski admittedly. Chopin was a bit smoother and mellow, but had some funkiness to its flavor (like garlic, onions, or something) and I had to give Belvedere the nod. Grey Goose was very similar to Belvedere, but was a bit harsher and had more heat and lingering bitterness after the swallow. The nod went to Belvedere. It also mixed well with my Mountain Dew. My friend had similar conclusions. I didn’t do side by side shot comparisons with Svedka, though.

Can’t agree with you on this rating, my friend. On your Vox review, I concur completely. However, Belvedere still remains one of my personal favorites. I’m looking forward to trying some of your other recommendations, but I’m a little wary after the low score you gave Belvedere. Looks like the users rating is higher than yours, which says something. Well, after all, it’s a subjective thing, rating vodka. :-)

I personally think Belvedere is better than Goose, matter of face most of the times I’ve tried it I’ve found it pretty good. Admittedly most of the times I’ve tried it I’ve not exactly been sober to start with…
