Dark elegance: Belvedere Dirty Brew
Belvedere is redefining indulgence with its new Dirty Brew spirit, combining organic rye vodka and roasted robusta coffee beans.
For nearly a century, people have sought the perfect coffee-based spirits to enhance their moments of indulgence. Belvedere Dirty Brew was crafted to challenge the category with its rich and refined flavour, promising to transform purity into the darkest, most luxurious experience.
Belvedere’s latest creation is described as anything but ordinary, with its dark appearance and rich toffee hues accompanied by warm russet undertones. Offered at 30% ABV, the expertly crafted spirit combines the smoothness and elegance of Belvedere Organic Vodka with the bold taste of robusta coffee, known for its roasted aroma reminiscent of peanuts and its earthy, bittersweet flavour.
The name ‘Dirty Brew’ reflects the spirit’s seductive nature, evoking the brewing process that transforms raw ingredients into rich flavours. It also pays homage to the cheeky and irreverent nature of the ‘dirty coffee’ technique, which involves adding a shot of espresso to darken a liquid. Ultimately, Dirty Brew invites those who appreciate mastery, flavour, and a touch of nonconformity to savour a spirit that delivers an unexpected tasting experience.
Belvedere Dirty Brew has a delightfully velvety consistency, presenting a rich flavour of roasted coffee beans and indulgent toffee.
On the palate, vibrant espresso notes are complemented by silky dark chocolate, leading to a soft, velvety finish.
Presented in a sleek matte black bottle with gold accents, the design embodies the spirit within and reflects its dark hues and rich tones. The intense black finish suggests the captivating world of coffee. At the same time, the gold accents pay homage to the golden colour of rye, symbolising the richness and elegance of Belvedere Organic Vodka.
François-Xavier Desplancke, president and CEO of Belvedere Vodka, comments on the creation of Dirty Brew: “At Belvedere, we are creators with a simple philosophy: innovate with purpose, craft with excellence.
Dirty Brew is the purest, yet darkest, culmination of this vision – subversively sophisticated and yet elegantly crafted.
“From the captivating bottle design to the intriguing name, Belvedere Dirty Brew is a bold statement in every sense. It blends the world of luxury spirits with the intricate artistry of coffee craftsmanship, breaking away from tradition to establish a league of its own.”
In keeping with the brand’s ethos, the new expression is organically certified and crafted with carefully sourced ingredients while upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship. Belvedere Dirty Brew boasts an ‘intensely smooth’ character, making it perfect for enjoying neat or over ice.
Adding an unexpected touch of luxury to any occasion, the spirit can be used to create an affogato, introducing a smooth richness that elevates the classic coffee and gelato dessert.
Belvedere Dirty Brew is now available in the UK at Selfridges and Zapp, as well as from leading trade outlets. It is offered in 700ml bottles for a recommended retail price of £38 (US$51), and in 50ml single serves priced at £4.80 (US$6.40). Whether you’re just starting your evening or enjoying a ‘last call’, Belvedere Dirty Brew is designed for those who seek a richly intense experience.
