Absolut Distillery

Absolut Distillery was established in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith. Located in Ahus, Sweden, Absolut vodka is produced from locally grown winter wheat of the Rbelf Estate a family-owned farm that has produced high quality grain since the 1400s.In addition to the winter wheat, the other key ingredient is fresh well water that runs beneath the distillery. The water is added to the ground wheat, along with enzymes that encourage the starches to convert to sugars, and is boiled for three hours before being chilled to 37 degrees and prepared for fermentation.Absolut Elyx get its name from lyx which is Swedish for luxury. Elyx is made manually in small batches from a mashbill of local ingredients, all of which are traceable to within a 15 mile radius of Ahus.Elyx is distilled in a vintage 1921 copper column still which naturally catalyzes trace compounds in the spirit, purifying Elyx and adding to the rich, silky, smooth finish. The entire process of Eylx every handle, knob and lever is adjusted by hand to produce consistent high quality batches.Lined with a copper foil pineapple damask, the Absolut Elyx Pineapple Gift Box includes a 750ml bottle of Absolut Elyx, a copper pineapple serving vessel, and an Elyx cocktail recipes booklet.The nose is sharp with crisp grain notes. Elyx is smooth and sweet on the palate with touches of vanilla cream and butterscotch, and a hint of hazelnut and chocolate. The finish is clean with hints of spice.

Absolut Elyx is the new definition of luxury vodka, built on the principles of quality, integrity, and true craftsmanship. Every drop of Absolut Elyx is made with soft winter wheat from a Single estate, Rabelf, in southern Sweden where the climate is ideal for the strain. The estate has been cultivating wheat there since the 1400s.The wheat is then manually distilled using a vintage copper column still from 1921 by Master Distiller Krister Asplund and his team. The still, operated by a select few who have inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of Swedish vodka makers, is made entirely from copper. The copper surfaces inside the columns themselves, the pumps and even the hand-forged pipes have a catalytic effect on some of the trace compounds in the spirit. Which, again, enables the crafting of a naturally smooth vodka with real character.The result is an award-winning vodka with a rich and exceptionally smooth mouthfeel that is crafted from seed to bottle in a 15-mile radius using water from a nearby aquifer. The luxurious design of the bottle invokes that vintage copper column still and gives this premium expression a distinctively high-class feel.Grab a bottle of this luxurious vodka today!
