Belvedere Heritage 176
Other Spirits
Belvedere // Poland
Belvedere Heritage 176 is a unique offering from the Polish vodka brand. It is made with 100% rye like its flagship product, but 2% of the makeup here is malted rye.
Technically, Heritage 176 is a "spirit drink" and not a vodka as the malted rye spirit which is used here is only distilled to 92% ABV and not 96% ABV to qualify as a vodka. The name refers to the kilns used in the malting process being heated to 176 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tasting Notes
"Heritage 176 is peppery and grain forward on the nose, but compared to the standard Belvedere, there's more of a sweetness on the nose. The spirit feels full on the palate with a moderate oiliness coupled with sweet toasted grain. The spice level is moderate and the taste is bittersweet. Again, compared to the standard version, this spirit has more of a nutty quality. However, as it's overall fairly neutral, all of the flavors mentioned are nuanced. The finish is fairly lengthy. Overall, an excellent sipper and great in a Martini. "
