ABSOLUT VODKA is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. In fact ABSOLUT is as pure as vodka can be. Still, that purity has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet
smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Bränvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was
reintroduced as ABSOLUT. Just as then, ABSOLUT is produced in Åhus, 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.
The main ingredients in ABSOLUT VODKA are water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where
it’s protected from impurities. Winter wheat differs from other crops: it’s sown in fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized.
Being so pure, why drink ABSOLUT VODKA any other way than it is? In fact, there’s a good reason why: the purer the
vodka, the better it blends with other aromas meaning ABSOLUT VODKA brings out the best in other tastes too. Also meaning there are lots of great tastes in the drinks below.
