Review: Absolut Lime Vodka

Absolut Lime Vodka was just released.  If you don’t count their limited edition Chicago Vodka made with Olive and Rosemary flavor, or Absolut Texas made with cucumber and Serrano chili flavor, this is their first new vodka flavor since they launched Absolut Cilantro in 2013.  Lime is one of 18 flavored vodka’s currently featured on the Absolut Vodka website.  Later this year that number will shrink to 10, as Absolut plans to focus on its core flavors.  Absolut Citron and Absolut Mandrin are the industries number one selling citrus and orange flavored vodkas, so it makes sense to add a flavor that plays to their strength.  A Vodka tonic with a squeeze of lime is said to be the worlds second most popular cocktail, so look for Absolut Lime to be an instant hit.  Absolut Lime starts with a vodka base made from Swedish winter wheat sourced from 450 local farms, with one kilo of wheat needed to create one liter of vodka.  The wheat is milled on site and blended with water and a proprietary yeast and fermented for 2 days.  A continuous distillation process is used with steel column stills and copper plates.  The vodka is filtered once through a mesh filter.  Pure deep well water that comes from naturally filtered aquifers is softened through reverse osmosis and then blended with the vodka to reduce to proof.  All natural flavors are then infused with no sugar added before bottling at 80 proof.The aroma is fresh squeezed lime juice and lime sherbet.  The fresh lime entry has its natural tart flavor softened with cream taste and sweetened with bright vanilla flavor.  This builds to a flavor peak somewhere between lime sherbet and whipped cream topped Key Lime pie.  It fades with tart whole lime flavor and finishes with a warm mild sting and a touch of vodka flavor.  The flavored vodka movement is trending towards reduced alcohol content, with several brands weighing in at 60 proof.  Absolut continues to craft their flavored vodkas at 80 proof.  One would never guess this from the smooth finish of this vodka.
