Discover the world’s finest luxury vodkas defined by craftsmanship, flavour, and refined indulgence.
From sweet cocktails such as lemon drops, cosmopolitans and espresso martinis to savoury classics like dirty martinis and Bloody Marys, vodka pairs effortlessly with almost any mixer
In a world where every sip is a statement, luxury vodka has transcended its role as a mere spirit to become a symbol of refined taste, cultural heritage, and artisanal mastery. These are not just bottles, they are experiences distilled into glass. Whether you are marking a milestone, toasting a triumph, or simply honouring the art of living well, these seven exceptional vodkas represent the very pinnacle of the craft.
Smoke Lab Vodka
India – Crafted from single-origin Basmati rice, distilled in the foothills of the Himalayas
Where heritage meets a bold, new-age spirit, Smoke Lab is quietly and confidently changing how Indian vodka is perceived globally. Crafted from locally sourced Basmati rice and distilled five times for that ultra-smooth, almost weightless finish, it’s the kind of vodka that feels as good neat as it does in a cocktail. But what really sets Smoke Lab apart is how it plays with flavour, unexpected, rooted, and distinctly Indian.
The Classic keeps things clean and refined, with soft nutty notes and a hint of citrus. The Aniseed leans into nostalgia, bringing that familiar saunf sweetness with a subtle spice kick.
Saffron is richer and more indulgent, with warm spices, a touch of malai kulfi, and a smooth, dessert-like finish. And then there’s Green Chilli Mango, easily the most playful of the lot, balancing tangy mango with a gentle heat that builds just enough to keep things interesting.
At its core, Smoke Lab doesn’t try too hard to be different, it just is. It’s a vodka that feels rooted in India but designed for a global palate, whether you’re sipping it straight or using it as a base to experiment. Clean, versatile, and a little unexpected, that’s kind of the whole point.
Price: INR 2700–5500/-
Beluga Noble Russian Vodka
Russia — Crafted from malted barley, rested for 30 days before bottling
In the annals of Russian vodka, Beluga occupies a chapter entirely its own. It feels a little more patient and considered than most vodkas. Made from malted barley and rested for 30 days, it has a smoother, more rounded profile that doesn’t rush on the palate.
The classic expression leans slightly malt-forward, with a soft natural sweetness, a touch of honey, and a gentle creamy texture, finishing clean but lingering just enough. There aren’t heavy flavour variants here; the focus is on refinement and balance.
It’s the kind of vodka you sip slowly, polished, slightly richer, and more layered than your usual go-to.
Price: INR 6500–7300/-
Cîroc Ultra-Premium Vodka
France — Crafted from fine French grapes, cold-fermented and distilled five times
Cîroc is noticeably different from the first sip. Being grape-based, it feels lighter, fruitier, and more vibrant than grain vodkas. It’s smooth, with a natural sweetness and a crisp, citrusy edge.
The classic has a clean, fresh profile with soft fruit notes, while the flavoured range is where it truly plays. Pineapple is bright and tropical, Peach is soft and juicy, and Red Berry leans slightly sweeter and more dessert-like.
It’s easy, versatile, and made for cocktails, something you reach for when you want your drink to feel a little more lively. In the world of cocktail creation, these spirits deserve to be savoured with intention and appreciated in full, because life’s finest moments are always worth the finest pours.
Price: INR 2700–5200/-
Belvedere
Poland — Crafted from Dankowskie Diamond rye, distilled in Żyrardów since 1910
Belvedere is one of those vodkas that feels rooted in tradition but still holds its own in a modern bar. Made from Polish Dankowskie Diamond rye and pure artesian water, it naturally has more depth and texture, smooth, but not overly neutral.
The Classic is rich and velvety, with soft vanilla on the nose, followed by a gentle white pepper spice and a warm, lingering finish, very characteristic of rye-based vodkas. It’s clean, but with just enough edge to make it interesting.
The flavoured range remains subtle and well-balanced. Lemon & Basil is fresh and slightly herbal, Blackberry & Lemongrass adds a light fruity-citrus lift, and Pear & Ginger brings a soft sweetness with a warm spice kick.
Overall, Belvedere is less about being flashy and more about being well-crafted. It’s the kind of vodka that adds character to your drink rather than disappearing in it.
Price: INR 2800–4000/-
Grey Goose
France — Crafted from single-origin Picardy wheat, distilled in the Cognac region
Grey Goose is one of those vodkas almost everyone recognises and for good reason. Made using soft winter wheat from Picardy and blended with limestone-filtered spring water, it’s known for being incredibly smooth and easy to drink.
On the palate, it’s clean and well-rounded, with a subtle sweetness, light almond notes, and a soft hint of citrus. There’s a gentle creaminess, followed by a crisp, smooth finish that doesn’t overpower. It’s the kind of vodka that works just as well on its own as it does in a cocktail.
It also carries a certain classic, no-fuss luxury, nothing too experimental, just consistently good. Whether it’s a simple vodka soda or something more elevated, Grey Goose remains a reliable and polished choice.
Price: INR 2700–5500/-
Suntory Haku Vodka
Japan — Crafted from 100% Japanese white rice, filtered through bamboo charcoal
Haku is a vodka that feels quietly refined rather than overtly luxurious. Made from Japanese white rice and filtered through bamboo charcoal, it is incredibly smooth, with a soft, rounded texture that feels almost weightless on the palate.
The classic expression offers a gentle sweetness, subtle floral notes, and a clean, crisp finish that lingers without overpowering. It’s delicate yet structured, making it easy to sip or mix without losing its character.
While Haku doesn’t lean heavily into flavoured variants, its profile itself is the highlight, clean rice sweetness, slight creaminess, and a polished finish that reflects Suntory’s meticulous attention to detail.
It’s understated, balanced, and effortlessly smooth.
Price: INR 4500–5500/-
Chopin Vodka
Poland — Crafted from single-ingredient potatoes, rye, or wheat, each bottled separately
Chopin stands out for doing something simple exceptionally well, focusing on one ingredient at a time. Whether it’s potato, rye, or wheat, each expression feels distinct and true to its base.
The potato vodka is the highlight, rich, creamy, and slightly earthy, with a full-bodied feel. The rye is lighter with a subtle spice, while the wheat is the cleanest and most delicate of the three.
It’s a great choice for those who want to truly taste the difference between styles, rather than just drink something neutral.
Price: INR 5000–6000/-
