ABSOLUT ELYX - IT'S HERE


10 years in the making and 8 months in the waiting... ABSOLUT ELYX is finally on the shores of Australia and i'm happy to say it was worth the wait.

I know some of you might think i am little bias, however you'll have to trust me on this one - the velvety silky texture of this little beauty is so soft, one of Sydney's top bartenders asked me why he would bother serving it with ice, it's perfect just on its own!


Copper Distillation for a Natural Pure Taste 
Each batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is produced in a hand-operated still from 1929, with columns, pumps and hand-forged pipes made of copper. This vintage still plays an integral part in the making of ABSOLUT ELYX, since it fully makes use of copper’s exceptional and natural purifying qualities.

ABSOLUT ELYX is the result of genuine craftsmanship and manual operation in every detail of the process. The old 1929 copper column still is only operated by a selected few, who inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of spirit and vodka makers, every batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is carefully tasted and approved before it is bottled.

 
ABSOLUT ELYX is a single-batch vodka, made from natural ingredients. Every part of the production, from the planting of the first seed, all the way through distillation and bottling, is performed within a 25 km radius in the Ă…hus region of Southern Sweden.


ABSOLUT ELYX COCKTAILS
This is definitely a vodka that is drank best on the rocks or in a martini.  Smooth and full bodied make it perfect for the more spirited cocktails, see below for a few options..

For more information check out the facebook/ABSOLUTAU and there is a tab for ELYX that has a list of where this guy is stocked so you can try for yourself.
