Absolut Pear Vodka

Absolut Pear — Absolut Pears on the label — launched in 2007, and it's the most elegant fruit in the range: a flavor that reads like a ripe Anjou rather than a candy. Made in Åhus, Sweden, where Absolut has distilled since 1879 — continuous column distillation of locally grown winter wheat with water from the village's deep well — it's flavored with natural pear and no added sugar, bottled at 40% ABV. Expect a delicate, fresh nose of ripe pear with a faint floral, almost honeyed note, opening into a smooth, clean palate where the fruit's natural sweetness comes from aroma rather than sugar, the wheat base's soft body keeping it rounded and silky, finishing crisp and dry with lingering pear. Drink Lab names Pears among the flavors that often do the job when a cocktail wants a fruit note, and it's a bartender's favorite for its restraint. It's built for a Pear Martini with a splash of St-Germain, a pear and ginger Mule, a pear vodka soda with a squeeze of lemon, a French Pear with sparkling wine, or an autumn Collins with cinnamon syrup. Honest note: it's a flavored vodka, and purists should reach for the original or Elyx. The 18th-century medicine-bottle shape with green-gold lettering. Swedish wheat, orchard fruit, no sugar — the grown-up flavor in the family.
