Beluga Noble Russian Vodka was originally created in 2002 by the Mariinsk distillery.[3] Mariinsk itself was founded in the 18th century in Siberia. In May 2016, Beluga partnered with Summergate Fine Wine & Spirits to be the exclusive importer and distributor of the brand in Greater China.[4] In October 2022, the international rights to the Beluga brand were sold to Noblewood Group. The estimated size of the transaction was over $75 million.[5] In March 2023, Noblewood Group officially commenced production in Montenegro.[6]
