In 1879 Lars Olsson Smith discovered continuous distillation which allowed him to create a very fine and smooth vodka which he called Absolut Rent Brännvin. For the production he used only natural ingredients.
More than 100 years later, the unique Absolut Vodka is still made using the same distillation process. First, a 96% distillate from winter wheat is produced in Tings Nöbbelöv in southern Sweden, which is then diluted in Åhus with the purest spring water to an alcohol content of 40%.
