The Beluga brand has been producing vodka since 2003, continuously improving its production technology. Over the years, this brand has managed to take a leading position in sales of alcoholic products, and has also achieved popularity in Europe.

Vodka from the Gold Line of the Mariinsky Distillery was awarded 8 gold medals and many honorary insignia.

Quality without deception

When choosing premium vodka, it is important to know how to distinguish a fake. Luxury drinks are often the subject of fraudulent activity. The problem of low-quality copies also affected the Beluga brand.

The original products of the Mariinsky plant have an engraving on the cork with the logo of the Synergy holding.

The main feature of branded vodka is a relief fish with metallic inclusions. If a careful examination of the bottle reveals that the label with the fish is made of paper or plastic, it is a fake.

In the Gold Line, each package has a serial number confirming the authenticity of the drink.

The original Beluga can become the pearl of the collection of any connoisseur of alcoholic beverages. This vodka is an example of traditional taste and impeccable quality.

Testing of Beluga vodka

Testing carried out: Master, Expert_1

The packaging of Beluga vodka immediately catches your eye: its unusual design, everything is done very neatly and beautifully. The image of a small fish on the label caught my attention. The fish itself is metal. The bottle contains elements also made in a metallic style. A plus is the lid with a protective film.

Overall, the vodka made a good impression, although it was a step below a similar product produced in Finland.

The taste of Beluga is quite deep and soft, and the smell can even be called pleasant. There is virtually no alcohol smell.

We give the vodka a solid “excellent” rating. The quality of vodka is very high, which is not surprising, because Beluga vodka is exported.

Elite Beluga vodka can be found anywhere in the world, it is loved by politicians and Hollywood stars, its cost can reach tens of thousands of dollars. But the world-famous premium vodka is produced at one single plant in a distant Siberian town in the Kemerovo region. Today we have a unique opportunity to look into production and spy on the things happening there.

2. Beluga vodka is produced at the Mariinsky distillery in the small town of Mariinsk in the Kemerovo region. The city of Mariinsk is famous in Siberia for its architecture of the late century before last and the beginning of the last century; the city center is actually an open-air museum. The plant is located in a historic building built in 1900. In the early years it was a state wine warehouse and was used accordingly for storing state wine

3. In addition to architecture, the city of Mariinsk has long been famous for its prisons; exiles were sent here under the Tsar, under Soviet rule, and today there are several institutions for holding criminals; the location of the city is too good for these purposes. One of these establishments is located in another old building right next to the plant. The large stone Prison Castle in Mariinsk was built by 1917 and it is still used for its intended purpose.

4. Let's finish with the stories and go inside

5. Everyone knows that vodka is water and alcohol. In the case of Beluga, this is malt alcohol, rarely used for the production of vodka. And water from artesian wells, which, when entering the plant, undergoes additional filtration

6. Then the alcohol and water are mixed and once again undergo several levels of filtration through columns filled with quartz sand and birch charcoal. They say that it is precisely these stages of filtration that make vodka soft, unlike any other

7. In addition to vodka, the plant produces Beluga herbal and berry liqueurs, as well as tinctures sold under other brands. Fragrances are stored here

8. You can even smell it, it’s a pity that the photos won’t convey the smell :)

9. This is exactly how the taste of Beluga appears, you just need an ordinary bucket with something tasty inside :)

10. Much at the plant was carefully stored for many decades, these oak barrels are the same age as the plant, they have been working here for more than a century!

11. New technologies are also used; everything that happens with all drinks can be monitored on special monitors that are understandable only to specialists

12. Usually vodka is poured into ready-made bottles and it goes on sale, but in the case of Beluga everything is a little different. Each bottle is decorated by hand! Each by the hands of Siberian women!

13. The top sticker with the word BELUGA is always applied by hand. In the photo, a bottle of Beluga Noble, the flagship product of the plant, is almost ready to travel around the world

14. And these are the same fish made of tin alloy that are recognized anywhere on the planet

15. Beluga is really known and drunk all over the world. Perhaps this is the most famous Russian product after oil :)

16. Walking around the production site, you can see ready-made packaging, for example, for the USA. Only Beluga is officially supplied to 75 countries around the world! Europe, Asia, the East and both Americas drink Siberian Beluga.

17. Perhaps these very bottles will very soon end up on the table of the president of some country, or at least some Hollywood actor :)

18. The Iron Thing says "Fish Gluing Machine" on it, but it's actually not.

19. All fish are glued only by hand

20. And the machine only consolidates what has been done by the caring hands of man :)

21. Beluga Hunting - an elite liqueur with the taste of Siberian berries, collected all the most delicious: cranberries, lingonberries, rowan, rose hips, blueberries. No fish yet

22. Fish!

23. Elite tincture is about to go on sale

24. For connoisseurs, the plant produces a limited edition of Beluga Gold Line, where each bottle is sealed with sealing wax and has an individual serial number! The prices for such bottles are higher, but this is not the limit!
There is Beluga Epicure vodka, the cost of which can easily cross the mark of 500 thousand rubles per bottle! As they admit at the factory itself: vodka, of course, is ideal, but the price is increased hundreds of times. The thing is that it is sold only in handmade crystal decanters brought to Mariinsk from France from the legendary Lalique factory. This kind of vodka is not bottled every day, so seeing 700 milliliters of vodka for hundreds of thousands is not so easy even at the factory.

This water is filtered with quartz sand and silver so that all impurities are removed and the future alcohol is soft enough.

The manufacturer of this vodka took care of its quality in advance by including malt alcohol in it. After all, this is how age-old traditions are preserved.

About a century ago, the first springs with absolutely clear water were found, from where water was subsequently used near this source for the main component of alcohol. The water produced there has excellent properties and unique taste. It undergoes thorough cleaning, and only then is it introduced into production.

The bottle of this brand of alcohol has a special design and taste properties. Vodka has good exports abroad, because it is one of the few brands of alcohol that is in demand for its quality. The manufacturer even came up with the motto of his company: “Do with pride.”
