Beluga Transatlantic Vodka 1L

This is the kind of vodka you reach for when you want your cocktail to taste dialed-in, not watered-down. Beluga Transatlantic is clean and focused, with a crisp, ocean-breeze kind of freshness and enough character to hold its own in a Martini, a Mule, or anything citrus-forward.

If you’ve ever had a vodka cocktail that turned flat halfway through, you know the problem. Some vodkas vanish the moment you add ice and mixers. This one doesn’t. It stays bright, keeps its structure, and brings a subtle sweetness that plays nicely with lime, grapefruit, and tonic.

It’s Russian vodka with a very specific vibe. “Transatlantic” is a nod to sailing and speed, and the flavour matches that energy. Think clean lines, brisk pace, no clutter. Great for home bartenders who like their drinks sharp and tidy, and for anyone who wants a reliable bottle that doesn’t hijack the recipe.

• Nose: Light grain, lemon peel, a soft mineral note that reads fresh and airy
• Taste: Crisp and dry up front, then a gentle cereal sweetness, hints of white pepper, and a cool, clean mouthfeel
• Finish: Neat and quick, with a faint citrus-zest echo and a lightly peppery fade

Where it shines most is in classics that punish sloppy vodka. A Vodka Martini stays sharp and clear. A Moscow Mule tastes brighter, not sugary. Even a simple Vodka Soda feels more “put together” because the base spirit isn’t dull or heavy.

It’s also a smart pick for batching cocktails. When you’re mixing for a few friends, you want something consistent, clean, and easy to build around, without that harsh edge that jumps out in a pitcher.

You don’t need to be a vodka nerd to get why this one works. It’s a straightforward, confident bottle that makes your drinks taste more intentional, even when the plan is just, “Let’s make something refreshing.”

Fun Fact: Beluga’s Transatlantic release was inspired by sailing, and the brand even created it to celebrate a Russian sailing team’s Atlantic crossing.
