LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

Vodka with soul. It proves that vodka can have character and texture. The focus on copper contact creates a spirit that feels heavy and luxurious on the tongue.

The Library Note

Every drop of Elyx comes from winter wheat grown on a single estate (Råbelöf Castle) in Åhus, Sweden. It is distilled in a hand-operated copper still by a handful of experts. The copper catalyzes trace compounds in the spirit, purifying it and creating a uniquely creamy mouthfeel.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Clean and rich. Fresh bread, white chocolate, and light cereal notes.

THE PALATE

Full-bodied and luscious. It has a distinct creamy texture (mouthfeel) with notes of macadamia nut, cream, and a hint of white spice.

THE FINISH

Smooth and warm with no harsh burn.
