Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil Vodka

New from Belvedere, the legendary Polish vodka producer, comes the Organic Infusions collection – organic rye vodka meets organic fruits and botanicals.

In America, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau defines vodka as a spirit “without distinctive character, aroma, taste or colour”. Belvedere has been bucking that trend with their rich and complex Polish rye vodka for many years. Now they’ve gone a step further, by creating a flavoured range that will challenge the ever-popular gin category.

Organic Infusions are Belvedere’s first organic-certified spirits, ensuring that they are created with ingredients that are farmed without artificial pesticides, additives or chemicals. The Lemon & Basil expression also has a touch of elderflower. The zesty lemon, verdant basil and summery elderflower combine beautifully, accompanied by crisp notes of lemon tart, cracked peppercorn and Muscat grapes. With a refreshing feel and zero chemicals or added sugar, you can sip it neat as you would any top-flight vodka, top it with soda or tonic water, or mix it into your favourite cocktail or spritz.

Considered by many to be the original super-premium vodka, Belvedere is made at the Polmos Zyrardów distillery, which was constructed in 1910. They only use superior grade Polish rye and water from their own source. Despite this purity, the resulting vodka always has great character, displaying the subtle sweetness of vanilla, a creamy texture and a frisson of pepper, spice and toasted nuts. It’s unsurprising that the International Spirits Challenge crowned Belvedere and their owners LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) “Vodka Producer of the Year” in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2021.
