Absolut Vodka 40%

Wine information: Absolut Vodka is one of the most well-known vodkas in the world. Launched in New York in 1979, it soon became talk of the town, the US and eventually of the world. However, the recipe behind the pure and natural taste of Absolut is actually more than 30 years old. So is the 18th century medicine flask found in an antique store in Stockholm that gave inspiration to the iconic Absolut Vodka bottle. The main ingredients in Absolut 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.

Tasting Notes: Made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. Absolut is about 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.
