Absolut Elyx (75cl, 42.3%)

A single estate Swedish vodka from Absolut, distilled in Åhus and bottled at 42.3% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made from 100% single estate winter wheat grown on the Råbelöf estate, where wheat cultivation dates back to the 1400s. Distillation takes place in a vintage copper column still dating to 1921, with hand-cut and scored copper packets loaded before each run and replaced with fresh copper for every batch. The nose is clean and rounded, with fresh bread, light cereal, white chocolate and mellow spice. The palate is smooth and slightly sweet, with wheat grain, creamed cereal, macadamia nut, buttery fresh bread, vanilla cream, butterscotch, hazelnut, white chocolate, marshmallow, grapefruit peel and chalk. The finish is rounded and warm with mellow spice, fresh nuttiness and a faint vanilla-citrus exit.
