Absolut Vanilia is a vanilla flavoured vodka of genuine richness and complexity — introduced in 2003 and made from natural vanilla, with all parts of the pod used to reflect the full potential of the flavour. Rich, robust, and complex on the palate, with notes of butterscotch and hints of dark chocolate. A magnificently versatile spirit that enhances everything from classic cocktails to more adventurous combinations — perfect for those with a sweet tooth and those who enjoy experimenting with contrasting flavours in equal measure.
Appearance
Crystal clear with the brilliant purity of Absolut’s signature Swedish vodka base.
Aroma
Rich and inviting — natural vanilla leads a warm and generous bouquet, with butterscotch adding sweetness and depth and hints of dark chocolate weaving through in a combination that is immediately appealing.
Palate
Rich, robust, and complex — the full potential of the vanilla pod is evident in a palate of genuine depth and warmth, with butterscotch and dark chocolate notes adding layers of flavour that make Absolut Vanilia as satisfying to sip as it is to mix.
Serving Suggestions
Outstanding in a Vanilia Espresso Martini — the vanilla and dark chocolate notes in perfect harmony with fresh espresso and coffee liqueur. Also exceptional in a Vanilla Vodka Sour, a White Russian, or simply over ice with a splash of cream soda. The versatility of vanilla is as true in the glass as it is in the kitchen.
Absolut Vanilia is produced from natural vanilla, with all parts of the pod used to ensure the full depth and complexity of the flavour is captured in the finished spirit. Introduced in 2003, it is built on the same foundation as Absolut Original — single estate Swedish winter wheat and water from a deep well in Åhus — with natural vanilla flavour added to create a rich, robust, and complex flavoured vodka of genuine character.
