Absolut Vodka

In 1879 Lars Olsson Smith introduced continuous distillation, through which he produced Absolut Rent Brännvin (Absolut Vodka Agni). Instead of being distilled three or four times, the vodka went through countless stills. 100 years later, it came back as ABSOLUT. As then, ABSOLUT is produced in Åhus, Sweden, the birthplace of Lars Olsson Smith. Even the place where the wheat grew was developed. Since the way ABSOLUT is produced is not going to change, neither will the actual taste of the vodka. The main ingredients of ABSOLUT VODKA are water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus, which protects it from pollutants. Winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it is sown in autumn and harvested at the same time the following year. It grows under the Swedish snow, developing its hard seeds. The use of fertilizers is also limited.
