Beluga Transatlantic Racing Montenegro Vodka Special Edition

This bottling comes from Noblewood Adriatic, which relaunched Beluga in 2023 with a distillery in Latvia and a blending and bottling plant in Montenegro, keeping the original recipes and methods intact. The Transatlantic Racing edition is a limited release tied to competitive sailing, and its defining production step is a filtration through cotton, a gentle medium that pulls residual oils and particulates without stripping the spirit of body. That filtration is what gives the vodka its notable clarity and clean line, bottled at a standard 40% by volume.

The nose is delicate and floral with a thread of spice. The palate is gentle and soft, fresh and almost airy, with a light sea-breeze salinity that suits the sailing theme, leading into a long, fresh finish. Given how clean and lightly saline it is, drink it neat and very cold: keep the bottle in the freezer and pour into a chilled glass, where the cotton-filtered softness and that faint maritime note come through without dilution.
