A blend of pure Absolut vodka, continuously distilled rather than the usual 3 or 4 times, mixed with blackcurrant produces a very slight but pleasant tartness. Trivia fact- the swedish word for blackcurrant is vinbar, which the product was almost named, until it was realised that this sounded suspiciously like \'Wine Bar\'. ### Product Description In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Branvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as Absolut. Just as then, Absolut is produced in Ahus, L.O. Smith\'s birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won\'t change, neither will the true taste of vodka. Tasting Notes Smooth and mellow vodka with blackcurrant.
