LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The quintessential premium vodka. Its commitment to single-source production and 'total' distillation makes it one of the most reliable and versatile spirits ever created.

The Library Note

Introduced in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith as 'Absolut Rent Bränvin' (Absolutely Pure Vodka), Absolut redefined the category with its global launch. Produced entirely in Åhus, Sweden, it uses a process of continuous distillation that ensures a level of purity that is the global benchmark.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Clean and crisp with a distinct hint of grain and dried fruit.

THE PALATE

Rich, full-bodied, and complex with a mellow character of winter wheat and a touch of sweetness.

THE FINISH

A smooth, long, and clean finish with a refreshing grain snap.
