Absolut Kurant Vodka
The story behind the name Absolut Kurant is black currant, a typical Swedish berry from which the flavor is taken. When launched in 1992 it was a tribute to the Swedish origin of Absolut Vodka. Originally it was even supposed to be called Absolut Vinbär since the Swedish word for black currant is vinbär. Only thing was that the English pronunciation would have been ‘wine bar’.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Taste | Tart, bitter black currant bouquet from the first sip. Crisp, tart flavors develop with a clean midpalate. An oily texture underscores the racy, zesty, black currant flavours. |
