Belvedere leaves this unfiltered Polish rye vodka as it comes off the still, so the herbal, creamy character of that one place stays in the glass. The rye variety is called \u003cem lang=\"pl\"\u003eDańkowskie Diament\u003c\/em\u003e in Polish. It suits drinkers who taste vodka the way they would taste wine, comparing origin and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLake Bartężek tasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut grass and fresh mint over a light herbal lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and round, with toasted nuts, oatcake and a dusting of white pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and crisp, with pepper lingering after the cream fades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing is filtered out, the texture feels fuller than most clear vodkas of the same strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Belvedere Lake Bartężek\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe it lightly chilled, around 4 to 6 °C, since a spell in the freezer would flatten the mint and grass. A small tulip or white-wine glass lets the aroma gather. Pair it with smoked eel, hot-smoked trout or dark rye with salted butter, and sip slowly. It earns a place at a tasting evening where several Polish vodkas are lined up side by side for comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCocktails with Lake Bartężek\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple, spirit-forward drinks show the estate character best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVodka Martini:\u003c\/strong\u003e stir 60 ml Lake Bartężek with 10 ml dry vermouth over ice for 30 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe and finish with a lemon twist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint Vodka Soda:\u003c\/strong\u003e press four mint leaves gently in a highball, add ice, 50 ml vodka and 120 ml soda water, then stir once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelvedere Smogóry Forest uses the same rye variety from a different estate in western Poland and tastes bolder, earthier and spicier, while Lake Bartężek stays fresher and more herbal. Belvedere Vodka Organic is the blended expression, softer and more vanilla-led than either single estate. Wyborowa Exquisite also relies on Dańkowskie Diamond, from its own estate, and comes across nuttier and rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolmos Żyrardów produces Belvedere, and Lake Bartężek belongs to the brand's single-estate series alongside Smogóry Forest. A 70cl bottle is a thoughtful gift for a vodka enthusiast who already owns the classics, and few bottles of Polish vodka tell a clearer story of place. Wodka Company stocks Belvedere Lake Bartężek when available and posts it from London to customers throughout the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 lang=\"pl\"\u003ePo polsku\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv lang=\"pl\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBelvedere Lake Bartężek\u003c\/strong\u003e to żytnia wódka czysta typu single estate, destylowana z żyta Dańkowskie Diamond z jednego majątku nad jeziorem Bartężek na Mazurach. Długie, mroźne zimy kształtują tamtejsze zboże, a producent celowo nie filtruje tej wódki o mocy 40% i pojemności 0,7 l. Jest kremowa i ziołowa, z nutą świeżej mięty, prażonych orzechów i białego pieprzu. Najlepiej smakuje lekko schłodzona, w temperaturze 4–6 °C, w małym kieliszku tulipanowym, obok wędzonego węgorza lub pstrąga.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Belvedere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42096691904674,"sku":"","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/8319\/2738\/products\/belvedere-lake-bartezek-plain-rye-clear-vodka-czysta-wodkacompany.jpg?v=1651445297","url":"https:\/\/wodkacompany.com\/products\/belvedere-lake-bartezek-vodka-70cl-40","provider":"Wodka Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
