In the growing age of craft vodka there are more and more spirits of distinction, like 2018's Chairman's Trophy winner Belvedere Lake Bartezek Single Estate Rye Vodka. This superior spirit was created with terroir in mind from a special variety of rye, called diamond dankowskie from the Masurian Lake district in Poland. The result is a 96 Point winning vodka and shows off what the category is capable of when paired with high quality ingredients and expert production. Assertive and electric on the nose and palate. Intense crushed peppercorn, toasted walnut, dark rose petals, tobacco leaves, fresh herb stems, fresh soil, lime and lemon peels, orange oil, dried grasses, and spicy ginger come together in this vodka with a strong burn and present acidity.
