Belvedere Vodka was first introduced to North America in 1996, and was the first to create a new standard for excellence in the vodka category and is credited with creating the luxury vodka segment. Belvedere’s all-natural, additive-free character, which is made entirely from Dankowskie Gold Rye and blended with water from its own pristine source, is appreciated my many all over the world today. Belvedere’s taste profile is distinctively soft with a subtle sweetness and a naturally smooth, clean finish. You can purchase Belvedere vodka in top nightclubs (such as Providence and Zouk Club KL) and restaurants in Malaysia and at fine wine and spirits retailers.
 

 

the bottle and packaging
ck one Red Edition is a new interpretation of the iconic ck one signature flask, with the bottle emblazoned with the ck one logo in a red, powerful, industrial typeface, faded at one side for a hint of edge. The women’s bottle is clear glass with a red metallic cap and a glossy red outer carton, contrasted with the men’s version in smoke-tinted glass with a jet black carton.
