Belvedere Vodka Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil

Belvedere Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil: A Refreshing Exploration of Citrus and Herb

A burst of summer sunshine in a bottle, Belvedere Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil is a vodka unlike any other. Crafted with the finest Polish rye spirit and infused with organic lemons, fresh green basil, and a touch of elderflower, this spirit offers a vibrant and invigorating taste experience.

On the Nose:

The first impression is undeniably uplifting and citrus-driven. Zesty lemon peel takes centre stage, its aroma akin to freshly grated zest. Hints of peppery basil soon emerge, adding a touch of complexity and a herbaceous intrigue. The elderflower presents itself subtly, weaving in a delicate floral note that rounds out the bouquet.

On the Palate:

The initial sip delivers a clean, crisp mouthfeel, characteristic of Belvedere's renowned vodka base. The zesty lemon flavour explodes across the palate, offering a refreshing tartness that is both invigorating and balanced. The herbaceous notes of basil then come to the fore, adding a subtle peppery warmth and a touch of earthiness. The elderflower's influence is more prominent on the taste buds, providing a touch of sweetness and a subtle floral character that lingers on the finish.

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the zesty lemon and peppery basil notes gradually fading, leaving behind a touch of elderflower's delicate sweetness.
