A Swedish vodka made exclusively from natural ingredients, the Absolut does not contain any added sugar. It is as clean as vodka can be. It is distilled from winter wheat and bottled at 80 proof. Vodka is column-distilled which means that most of the flavour is stripped. What makes a difference for Absolut Vodka is the water, which is sourced from only local wells that are more than 450 feet deep.
