About Beluga Vodka

• Originally made in Siberia at Mariinsk Distillery
• Now distilled in Latvia, bottled in Montenegro
• Using organic wheat from Latvia
• Blended with pure well water in Montenegro

I was so impressed with how floral and spicy Beluga Noble Vodka was. How expressive it was. Gold Line was more elegant and subtle. Each pleases its target palate.
