About Absolut

Absolut traces its roots to Lars Olsson Smith, a Swedish spirits maker of the late 1800s known for refining vodka through continuous distillation. Today it is still produced in Ahus, using local winter wheat and deep well water, and is distilled many times for a clean, smooth style.

How to Enjoy Absolut

Absolut Vodka is a versatile mixer. Try it in a vodka soda with fresh lime, a Cosmopolitan with Absolut Citron, or an Espresso Martini. Flavoured bottles work well with soda water and fruit, and Elyx is smooth enough to sip chilled. The cans taste great cold, straight from the fridge or over ice.

Absolut FAQs

Where is Absolut Vodka made?

Absolut Vodka is made in Ahus, a small town in southern Sweden. The brand sources winter wheat from the surrounding region and water from its own deep well, and has produced its vodka there for generations, which is why it sits in our Swedish vodka range.

What is Absolut Vodka made from?

Absolut Vodka is made from winter wheat and water. The wheat gives a smooth, slightly grainy character, and continuous distillation removes impurities for a clean taste. The flavoured versions add natural flavourings such as lemon, lime or vanilla to the same base vodka.

What is the difference between Absolut and Absolut Elyx?

Absolut Elyx is a premium version made from single estate wheat and distilled in a vintage copper still. Compared with the classic Absolut, it has a softer, silkier texture, which makes it a good choice for martinis or sipping chilled.
