Absolut Vodka’s Rich History

Absolut Vodka’s history dates back to its first production in 1879 in Ahus, Sweden. Lars Olsson Smith, the creator of this popular vodka brand was the first to introduce fractional distillation, which produces liquor without fusel alcohol all the way back in 1877 in Sweden under the original brand name “Tiodubbelt Renadt Brännvin.”

The brand would soon change its name to what we know today, providing us with many great Absolut Vodka deals consumers have come to enjoy throughout the years. When V&S Sprit AB, the company behind Absolut Vodka wanted to bring their “Absolute Pure Vodka” brand to the US, it couldn’t register the trademark for legal reasons, and had to drop the “e” to decide on the Absolut Vodka brand that now defines the brand we know.

Today, there are many different Absolute Vodka varieties and flavours available. The most popular core flavours that continue to hold this brand at the top of the market include:

- Absolut VODKA Blue Label
- Absolut VODKA Red Label
- Absolut PEPPAR
- Absolut CITRON
- Absolut KURANT
- Absolut MANDRIN
- Absolut VANILLA, to name only a few.
