Tasting Notes from the Producer
Flavour
Exceptionally smooth. Settling very peacefully it slowly descends in a harmonious way. The taste has slight hints of caramel and vanilla with a fresh and fruity finish.

FAQs
At 40% ABV, Absolut is best served ice cold in a chilled glass to suppress the ethanol heat and bring forward its characteristic light grain sweetness and subtle anise note. The classic Swedish serve is neat from the freezer alongside pickled herring. For cocktails, the clean neutral profile suits a Vodka Martini or Espresso Martini where the spirit acts as structure rather than distraction.
Yes. Although Absolut is distilled from winter wheat, the distillation process removes gluten proteins from the final spirit to below detectable levels. Regulatory bodies including the FSAI classify distilled spirits from gluten containing grains as gluten free. If you have coeliac disease or a severe clinical sensitivity, consult your medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit, regardless of brand.
Absolut is distilled from winter wheat grown in the Ahus region of southern Sweden, where the distillery has operated since 1879. The water used in production is drawn from a deep well on site. The entire production process, from grain to bottle, takes place in Ahus, which is an unusually rare degree of vertical integration for a vodka brand operating at global scale.
Absolut is bottled at 80 proof, equivalent to 40% ABV, which is the standard bottling strength for the core range. Several expressions in the Absolut lineup, including Absolut 100, are bottled at 100 proof or 50% ABV, which produces a more assertive ethanol presence on the nose and a longer, warmer finish. The higher ABV also makes Absolut 100 a more effective cocktail base in mixed drinks where dilution is significant.
Absolut is made entirely in Ahus, a small town in the Skane region of southern Sweden. The distillery sources its winter wheat from local farms within a 120 kilometre radius and draws production water from a deep aquifer beneath the site. This single location production model is the foundation of the brand's provenance claim and distinguishes it from competitors who source spirit from multiple production sites.
