    Description

    Bold, original, creative. Absolut Vodka launched in New York, 1979. Transparent and label-less bottle, inspired by an 18th Century medicine bottle, stood out from its tall, flashy, competitors.
    Absolut Vodka is still a unique character, in both design and taste. Still ridiculously curious about creativity, collaborations and art. And still the key player for the perfect mix in any social occasion. And since all vodka from Absolut is produced in Southern Sweden, our superb vodka tasted exactly the same then as it does now. Nothing has changed.

    Country Description

    Sweden

    Absolut Vodka was a brand dating to 1879, named for being "absolutely pure." The brand was resurected by Vin & Sprit for its centennial anniversary, and in 1979 was made from grains rather than potatoes. According to Peter Ekelund, this was allowed because Absolut was solely an export product. Obviously, Absolut was a huge success and in 1985 it was the largest-selling imported vodka in the USA. But when Sweden joined the European Union they sold off V&S. Vin & Sprit was bought by Pernod-Ricard in 2008 for 5.69 billion euros.
