SINGLE ESTATE : Every drop of Elyx is made from winter wheat grown on one single estate in southern Sweden. The Råbelöf estate has been cultivating its wheat since the 1400’s. The region has the ideal climate for producing winter wheat, with dry, cold winters and long, warm summers.

COPPER CRAFTED : Elyx is made entirely by hand in a vintage copper column still from 1921. Thousands of copper packets are used sacrificially, removing unwanted compounds and contributing to a rich and flavorful final product. The skill and experience of manual distillation produces a luxury vodka with unparalleled character and flavor.

LUXURY VODKA : Elyx embodies a new sense of luxury while redefining the vodka category. What makes us a luxury vodka is not just the quality of our product, but our cultural identity and ambition to always act with integrity, even when nobody is watching.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE : Clean, rich, rounded, fresh bread and notes of white chocolate and light cereal and with a deep mellow spice.

PALATE : Full bodied, luscious silky mouthfeel with waves of rich macadamia nuts, creamed cereal and garnishes of white chocolate and buttery notes of freshly baked bread. Light fresh nuttiness with a well-balanced hint of mellow spice and pure balanced richness.

FINISH : Rounded mellow spice with fresh nuttiness and a well balanced warm smooth finish.

Bold, original, creative. Absolut Vodka launched in New York, 1979. Our transparent and label-less bottle, inspired by an 18th Century medicine bottle, stood out from its tall, flashy, competitors. This was 1970s New York, after all. You had to be different to get noticed.

Inspiration through collaboration

It was something of a first when Absolut started collaborating with artists and thinkers. Our first collaboration was in 1985 with Andy Warhol. The success of the ‘Absolut Warhol’ commission kick-started something of a relay race, with the Absolut baton being passed between some 550 artists since. There are over 850 pieces of Absolut art on display at the “Spritmuseum” in Stockholm - you should come see it sometime.

Advertising, our way

Where other brands created loud, abrasive campaigns, we stuck to our Scandinavian roots - cool, calm, collected. Visual and verbal puns combined with simple, striking imagery, always with our famous bottle’s silhouette somewhere in the ad. We are proud to say this came to be the longest running marketing campaign in advertising history.

Evolution, not revolution

Absolut Vodka is still a unique character, in both design and taste. Still ridiculously curious about creativity, collaborations and art. And still the key player for the perfect mix in any social occasion. And since all vodka from Absolut is produced in Southern Sweden, our superb vodka tasted exactly the same then as it does now. Nothing has changed.

Mandarins. Sweet, easy-to-peel little things. And less of a hassle than oranges. No need to cut them in slices. Or peel them for ages. Or eat them with a napkin and then never get rid of the stickiness, no matter how many times you wash your hands.Yes, we have a thing for mandarins and while everyone was making orange flavored vodka, we did what we usually do; something different. Absolut Mandrin was a hard one to make, but is ridiculously simple to mix. Just add Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer for a perfect weekend drink.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT MANDRIN TASTE LIKE?
“It’s called Mandrin, but tastes like tangerines with notes of oranges. It is round, and sweet. It is welcoming. A great choice for an unpretentious balcony drink in the sun.”

Following the launch of Absolut Peppar in 1986, this smooth lemon flavored vodka hit the market two years later and quickly became our best selling flavored vodka. Actually, it still is.

Now, was it that Absolut Citron inspired the creation of the Cosmopolitan, one of the world’s best known modern cocktails, that brought it fame? Or that the most influential trend setters started ordering “Cosmo” in the coolest bars and clubs? Or simply that Absolut Citron both enhances a wide selection of drinks and works brilliantly on its own just by adding ice? Honestly, we are not entirely sure, but nevertheless very happy to have Absolut Citron in the limelight of the flavored vodka scene.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT CITRON TASTE LIKE?
“You have the aroma of the lemon and can almost taste zest and juiciness. Together it’s like a complete experience of the freshest lemon you can find.”

Our first tropical flavor inspired by the Alphonso mangoes, also known as the King of Mangoes, made a royal entrance. This sweet flavored vodka has added a splash of summer to drink lovers all around the world. Just add orange juice and you’re covered. Add some cranberry juice and you’ve made yourself the very eye catching Absolut Mango Breeze.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT MANGO TASTE LIKE?
“Imagine the stickiest, thickest and messiest mango. Absolut Mango has that level of ripeness and juiciness in its taste.”

Thirty years after the “Cosmo” hero Absolut Citron not only stirred but shook the world of mixology, its apprentice was brought to life to the satisfaction of bartenders and drink lovers. Since the launch of Absolut Lime with its natural and not overly-sweet flavor, bartenders and “trytobees” at home have one less thing to think about when trying to impress their guests with that perfectly balanced drink. Cheers to another citrus sibling that brings to both classic and new drinks a unique character and an Absolut twist! While we’re on the subject, the Absolut Lime Vodkarita or Absolut Lime Mule never disappoint.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT LIME TASTE LIKE?
“Very vivid. You get freshly hand-squeezed lime from both the aroma and the taste.”

NOSE : Clean, rich, rounded, fresh bread and notes of white chocolate and light cereal and with a deep mellow spice.

PALATE : Full bodied, luscious silky mouthfeel with waves of rich macadamia nuts, creamed cereal and garnishes of white chocolate and buttery notes of freshly baked bread. Light fresh nuttiness with a well-balanced hint of mellow spice and pure balanced richness.

FINISH : Rounded mellow spice with fresh nuttiness and a well balanced warm smooth finish.

Vanilla. This magnificent flavor that can enhance pretty much everything from cookies to… well you name it.  Perfect for those with a sweet tooth or the ones that are into experimenting with contrasting flavors. The versatility of vanilla is also true when making drinks – regardless if you’re going for something simple like a Vanilia Espresso Martini, or something as provocative as a Pornstar Martini.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT VANILIA TASTE LIKE?
“For me this is a blend of dulce de leche and crème brûlée. It’s vanilla and beyond, with fine caramel notes on top.”

Absolut Peppar was launched in 1986, seven years after Absolut Vodka. Besides being the first flavored vodka in the family, it was also the first clear flavored vodka imported to the US. And then came the rest.

So why pepper? Since vodka and pepper are the main ingredients in a Bloody Mary, it seemed like a good idea to make things easier for bartenders working at the many Bloody Mary bars popping up in Boston, New York and elsewhere at the time. The idea soon turned out as intended, both for bartenders and for all the weekend brunch fans looking to impress friends with an easy-to-make, perfect to pair Bloody Mary.

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT PEPPAR TASTE LIKE?
“This is like freshly ground black pepper in liquid form. It’s a play on Absolut Vodka. Same mouthfeel and thickness, with an added warmth and spiciness.”

Distillery Information: Absolut is produced in Hus, L.O. Smith's birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won't change, neither will the true taste of vodka.

Detailed Description: Absolut Pears is a delicious pear flavoured vodka from Sweden. This is made using continuous distillation and is incredibly pure tasting. Distilled from winter wheat and naturally flavoured with pear.

To be really picky, raspberry is a drupe and not a berry – but whatever; it goes with nearly anything! Absolut Raspberri has attracted some serious fans throughout the years, mostly for its versatility. Super easy to mix and tastes great!

WHAT DOES ABSOLUT WATERMELON TASTE LIKE?
