Absolut Vanilia Vodka (75cl, 40%)

A flavoured vodka from Åhus, Sweden, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Absolut's continuous-distilled winter-wheat vodka is infused with natural vanilla, with no added sugar. Introduced in 2003, it was designed for the dessert end of the cocktail list, keeping the wheat base underneath the vanilla character. It is made from locally grown winter wheat and deep-well water, using continuous distillation pioneered by Lars Olsson Smith in 1879. The nose shows rich, creamy vanilla with a soft wheat base. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with sweet vanilla bean character balanced by clean grain spirit, and the finish is clean, softly sweet and lingering with vanilla.
