If you have an extra $6,600 laying around, you can snatch up one of these beauties. Beluga Epicure by Lalique is a special edition from Beluga Noble Russian Vodka, and it is most certainly a stunning work of art.

“Beluga Epicure by Lalique is a tribute to the values that both brands share—strive for perfection, traditions of craftsmanship and attention to every detail. The name Epicure highlights the preciousness of fleeting moments, every decanter being a reminder of the present that we should enjoy.”

“In designing the decanter, Lalique drew inspiration from heritage, unique production process and Beluga vodka ingredients. Beluga Epicure also revisits Lalique’s iconic ‘Three F’ themes—Female, Flora and Fauna. Its sublime vessel features an enigmatic female nude figure surrounded by ears of wheat, a symbol of harvest and fertility, with Art nouveau style.”

“Artisans at Lalique workshops in Alsace, France produced each decanter by hand, blowing the crystal piece in an iron mold, giving it its shape. Master polishers refined the contrast between the clear and satin-finished crystal emphasizing vulnerability and monumentality of each piece. The final touch is a unique individual serial number engraved on the bottom of each decanter.”

These hand-crafted custom decanters are perfectly polished, and the engraved serial number at the bottom makes each of the 1,000 bottles one-of-a-kind. The women on either side of the bottle resemble statues you might see in a museum, instantly captivating the consumer. On the top of the bottle, the stopper is equally beautiful, with fine details that only add to its elegance.

“The release underpins Beluga’s unwavering commitment to creating the best vodka using only the purest water drawn from artesian springs in Siberia and a special malt spirit. Epicure’s unique vodka recipe is a celebration of mastery embedded in Beluga, a true testament of the skill of Beluga craftsmen.”

“Put in unique Lalique crystal decanter, it results in a stunning objet d’art—a truly exceptional product of the finest quality dedicated to the brands’ followers, true connoisseurs and passionate collectors.”
