Wine Enthusiast 80 points - Aroma is vaguely grainy, fresh and pleasing in the initial sniffs; further aeration brings out a mildly oily scent. Palate entry is simple, fundamentally sound and intensely dry and grainy; by midpalate, a shy, kernel-like, bittersweet taste enters the picture, then fades quickly. Ends meek and ethereal.

"Produced from winter wheat
a hardy wheat grain that gives Absolut its smooth grain character uses a unique process called continuous distillation
introduced in the nineteenth century by 'The Vodka King'
Lars Olsson Smith. It is distilled hundreds of times until all impurities have been removed."
