Absolut Vodka

Absolut Vodka is a Swedish vodka, originally introduced in 1879 as “Absolut rent bränvin,” meaning “Absolutely pure vodka.” It is a premium vodka with a clean, smooth profile. The nose is almost neutral, with slight doughy bread, Ryvita crispbread and black pepper. On the palate it is clean, with black peppery spice and faint brown bread, plus fainter notes of cream soda vanilla and liquorice. The finish carries muscular peppery spice with a hint of cream soda and liquorice. It is a popular choice for cocktails and mixed drinks.
