Product details
Beluga Noble is a premium vodka made from barley malt spirit, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. A malt base is unusual in vodka, and the recipe adds a light touch of honey together with oat and milk thistle extracts, which round out the texture. The result is a barley malt spirit vodka with soft cereal sweetness and noticeable body. It is intended above all for drinking neat and well chilled, in the classic Eastern European way, alongside small savoury dishes. Anyone looking for a premium vodka for sipping rather than mixing will find this Beluga vodka a natural fit.
Beluga Noble tasting notes
- Nose: Clean malted grain, a hint of honey and soft cereal sweetness.
- Palate: Smooth and rounded, with gentle bread, light honey and a faint herbal note.
- Finish: Medium length, soft and dry.
The texture is fuller than most plain vodkas, so it keeps its shape when very cold rather than turning thin.
How to drink Beluga Noble
Keep the bottle in the freezer and serve it neat in small chilled glasses, ideally with food. Traditional accompaniments suit it: caviar or salmon roe on blini, pickled herring, salted cucumbers, cold smoked fish or rye bread with butter. It is a fine bottle for a long celebratory dinner or a toast at a family occasion, poured in modest measures between courses.
Beluga Noble cocktails
Most of the bottle will be drunk neat, but a couple of stirred and shaken drinks show off its texture.
- Vodka Gibson: 60 ml Beluga Noble and 10 ml dry vermouth stirred with ice, strained into a chilled martini glass and garnished with a cocktail onion.
- Honey Vodka Sour: 50 ml Beluga Noble, 25 ml lemon juice, 15 ml honey syrup and 20 ml egg white, shaken hard and strained over fresh ice.
How it compares
Compared with Absolut Elyx, another premium sipping vodka, Beluga Noble is malt-based and a little sweeter and more cereal-driven, while Elyx is wheat-based and silkier at 42.3%. Against Finlandia Vodka, which is lighter and crisper, Beluga feels fuller and more textured, with a gentle honeyed edge that suits slow sipping.
Good to know
Beluga Noble 70cl is a considered gift for someone who enjoys neat vodka with food, especially around Christmas or a milestone birthday. Chill it for several hours before serving. Wodka Company sends Beluga Noble across the UK from our shop in London.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the vodka called Beluga?
Beluga Noble is named after the beluga sturgeon, the fish whose roe is prized as caviar, and a metal sturgeon emblem sits on the front of the bottle. The name nods to the classic Russian pairing of chilled vodka with caviar.
Is Beluga Noble a flavoured vodka?
No, Beluga Noble is a plain vodka, and the small amounts of honey, oat and milk thistle extract in its recipe round out the texture rather than add an obvious flavour. In the glass, Beluga Noble tastes mainly of soft malted grain with only a faint honeyed note.
How should you serve Beluga Noble?
Beluga Noble is best served neat and very cold, poured into a small chilled glass and sipped slowly with food. Good partners for Beluga Noble include blini with salmon roe, pickled mushrooms and rye bread with cured pork fat.
