Region Info/Origin
The Polmos Żyrardów distillery lies at the edge of the Mazovian Plain (Nizina Mazowiecka), a vast flat region west of Warsaw where the Dańkowskie Złote or 'Gold' strain of rye has been cultivated and inter-crossed over the centuries to thrive in the fetile soil. Belvedere Vodka is made only using this locally sourced grain, mostly grown by farmer distillers - known as agricultural distillers. Previously state owned, these now family - owned farms grow and harvest the rye, then ferment and distil it to produce raw alcohol which is sent by tanker to Polmos Żyrardów where it is rectified to the quality required to make Belvedere Vodka.
