Beluga (vodka)
Beluga is a Russian vodka brand produced by JSC "Synergy Group". It is one of the more well-known and marketed premium vodkas originating from Russia.
The Beluga brand focuses on its production process, often highlighting the use of artesian water and malt spirit in its creation. The spirit is typically filtered multiple times, and the production process often includes a period of rest or maturation. These processes are cited as contributing to the vodka's smoothness and refined taste.
The brand features several different expressions or varieties, each with its own specific production method and intended flavor profile. These may include, but are not limited to, Beluga Noble, Beluga Transatlantic Racing, Beluga Gold Line, and others. Each variant is distinguished by factors like the ingredients, filtration techniques, and resting period.
Beluga vodka is often associated with luxury and high-end consumption. Its packaging is distinctive, commonly featuring a small metal beluga sturgeon attached to the bottle, which serves as a brand identifier.
The vodka is distributed internationally and can be found in many bars, restaurants, and liquor stores worldwide. Its premium status means it typically commands a higher price point than standard vodka brands.
