Absolut Elyx is the brand's take on a luxury vodka, distilled in a manually operated vintage copper still from 1921. It is made from winter wheat grown on a single estate in Åhus, Sweden, known as the Råbelöf estate, which has cultivated wheat since the 1400s.
Lightly sweet but not overdone, Elyx offers notes of vanilla, some gingerbread, and sweet cream on the finish. Elyx probably won’t be the knockout that massive vodka fans are expecting (a la Karlsson’s Gold 2008), but I can virtually guarantee that everyone will find it totally agreeable.
