Absolute Elyx Vodka

Absolut Elyx is a 750mL single-estate luxury vodka bottled at 42.3% ABV (84.6 proof), made entirely from winter wheat grown on one estate — Rabelof in southern Sweden, where wheat has been cultivated since the 1400s — and distilled entirely by hand in a manually operated copper column still dating to 1921. Everything from seed to bottle happens within a 15-mile radius of Ahus, and the brand calls the result "liquid silk": a full-bodied, silky vodka built as much for sipping neat as for a premium martini. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

One Estate, One Wheat, One Copper Still

Single estate means one wheat, one field, one distillery: the dry, cold winters and long, warm summers of southern Sweden give the Rabelof winter wheat its character, and the 1921 copper column still does the rest — worked by hand rather than automated like the core Absolut stills, its thousands of sacrificial copper packets strip unwanted compounds while contributing richness. The brand's sell copy records a Double Gold Medal and Best Vodka at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2013 and 96 points from Wine Enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

Per the brand: a clean, rich, rounded nose of fresh bread, white chocolate, light cereal and deep mellow spice; a full-bodied, silky palate of macadamia nuts, creamed cereal, white chocolate and buttery fresh-baked bread; and a rounded, warm, smooth finish of mellow spice and fresh nuttiness.

How to Enjoy

Keep the bottle in the freezer and serve it neat in a chilled glass to show the silk texture, or stir it into a martini with a twist of lemon. More premium pours are in our spirits collection.
