ABSOLUT ELYX is manually distilled in a 1921 copper rectification still known as Column 51, made entirely of copper. It is operated by a selected few who inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of spirit and vodka makers. ABSOLUT ELYX is the result of century-old expertise, passed down through generations of Swedish vodka-makers. Krister Asplund and his team are amongst the very few people who have the skills and knowledge to operate a manual still.

Together they control the temperature and precise rate of flow during distillation by hand. Every handle, knob and level is adjusted manually. ABSOLUT ELYX is made in ?hus, Sweden, exclusively from single estate wheat from the R?bel?f Castle, where they have been producing wheat since the 1400s.

The wheat grown here contains exactly the right amount of water and has the perfect balance of starch From seed to bottle, everything is done within a 15-mile radius of the distillery, ensuring quality control and perfection in every detail.
