Vanilla, the Absolut Way
Absolut built its name on a simple formula — locally grown winter wheat, deep-well water, and continuous distillation pioneered by Lars Olsson Smith in 1879 — and Vanilia applies it to vanilla. Introduced in 2003, it was designed for the dessert end of the cocktail list: rich, smooth, and sweet-tasting without a gram of added sugar. Where some vanilla vodkas read like candy, Vanilia keeps the wheat base underneath, so it plays well in everything from a vanilla vodka soda to an espresso martini.
Tasting Notes
Rich, creamy vanilla on the nose with a soft wheat base. The palate is smooth and full-bodied — sweet vanilla bean character balanced by the clean grain spirit underneath. Clean, softly sweet finish with lingering vanilla.
How to Enjoy
Pour it over a single large cube for an easy after-dinner pour, or mix it into an espresso martini — the vanilla rounds out the coffee bite. It also works beautifully in a flavoured vodka and cola, or with ginger beer and lime for a vanilla-mule twist.
