Belvedere IX (Ten) Macerated Vodka — 1L | 40% ABV
A Bold Fusion of Luxury Vodka and Natural Botanicals Belvedere IX (pronounced "One-Nine") is a high-energy, limited-edition expression designed specifically for nightlife and premium mixology. While many flavored spirits use cheap synthetic syrups, IX is crafted through prolonged maceration. Belvedere’s master distillers soak nine distinct, individual botanicals in their ultra-premium Polish rye spirit to extract deep, complex flavors before a final distillation. The result is a sophisticated, "savory-meets-citrus" profile that maintains the crystal-clear appearance of traditional vodka.
The "Nine" Essential Botanicals The "IX" in the name represents the nine natural ingredients used in the maceration process: Ginseng, Guarana, Acai, Ginger, Sweet Almonds, Jasmine, Eucalyptus, Black Cherry, and Lacuma. This specific combination was designed to offer a vibrant, textured mouthfeel and an aromatic complexity that stands out in high-volume cocktails or when served as an ice-cold, celebratory shot.
