"This vodka is simply clean, from the mildly sweet aroma to the crisp finish. The palate holds pleasant notes of marshmallow, grapefruit peel and chalk give way to a faint vanilla-citrus exit. Made from single-estate grain distilled in a 1921 copper column still, this is an ideal companion for pretty much anything served in a martini glass." 96we Elyx is a luxury vodka with real character and integrity. Made from single estate winter wheat. Distilled using a manually operated copper column still from 1921. Absolut Elyx is also made with pure water, drawn from a giant underground lake in Sweden. Absolut call this vodka liquid silk. Why? Because an “impossibly-smooth-double-gold-winning-best-in-show-at-the-world-spirits-competition-vodka” didn’t have the same ring to it.
