Interesting Facts
Absolut Mandrin was one of the first flavored vodkas introduced by Absolut, following the success of Absolut Citron.
Absolut is known for its "One Source" philosophy, meaning every drop of water and every seed of wheat used in their vodka production comes from one water source, one village (Åhus), and one community in Sweden. This ensures consistent quality worldwide.
The continuous distillation method, pioneered by Lars Olsson Smith in 1879, allows for an infinite number of distillations, resulting in an exceptionally pure spirit.
