Product Info: Tastes of fragrant forest fruits and dark berries give Absolut Kurant its sweet yet tart flavor. Its intense black currant flavor is balanced and finishes smooth. Tasting Notes: Taste: Rich, smooth and berry notes with a hint of tartness. The finish is long and smooth. Brand/Product History: In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. 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 Åhus, 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.
