0:08 It's also possible to walk, if it's winter and the ice is thick enough. The swedish army did it once during a war with Denmark and caught them off guard.
in the past Absolut was my favourite vodka, but after i tried Finlandia vodka i realised that absolut taste a litlle bit bitter. and most important: even when i drink too much finlandia i dont have any headache next day, finlandia now my number one
In my early 20's while living with 2 good friends in a 3 bedroom house one of their parents owned we lived the typical college of drinking age lifestyle. We drank our beers, threw our house parties, and the like, but come Sunday we would always have a high end, high quality, and most often expensive new Brand/type of Vodka to start with. Of course we didn't keep it exclusively vodka all day nor did we finish with it because lets be honest here after the first bottle the taste isn't really all that big of an issue. This was such a tradition that we even had to resort to seeking out smaller, exotic style liquor stores and even ordering from international online vendors after having done it for nearly 3 years and the ability to find what fit the criteria became nearly impossible. The guidelines where pretty simple. The vodka must be able to be considered top shelf, must cost $30 or more for a 750ml bottle (this was to prevent any bullshit vodka such as those in plastic containers that are like nearly a gallon), and it can not, absolutely can not be of a brand and type of which we had already had in the past. To assure this wasn't violated we actually kept ever damn bottle from week one to the very last time on shelf in the den area. Not exactly sure why I felt like sharing this, but it seemed appropriate. And even after all the brands and flavors we tried we all seemed to agree that Grey Goose, Vox, and Absolute where definitely in the top 5, maybe top 10 of vodkas we had.
this story is complete bullcrap. how could you ever determine a top 5 from only trying something once? AND over the course of 3 years. every week you try a new vodka, but you only try it once, then after 3 years you say "oh here's our top five." LOL! you clown.
The greatest thing about absolut or vodka bottles in general, is that when you've finished it, you can make a drunken attempt at making a lamp out of it, sometime it works, sometimes your at the hospital with pieces of glass in your hands
I just reasently changed from whiskey to vodka and i got a litre of absolute it is outstanding vodka and it rocked me.Very nice vodka and worth buying if you drink vodka.just insane to find out were it comes from and how it's made 👍
I got a bottle of grey goose and a bottle of Asda supermarkets own bottom shelf molasses vodka(triple distilled). Price and Marketing aside, There is hardly any difference in perceivable quality of the actual drink inside the bottles. The moral of this story is, don't be fooled into buying expensive Vodka. Whisky on the other hand is a completely different story.
@@sachyktothea smoking is bad for your lungs as well. And weed has been shown to change brain matter composition,lack of focus and depression after one use. Both are bad but alcohol in small amounts has physical benefits. I advocate for edible and drinkable weed for example.
@@eliselol85 I have to agree with you. In cannabis there are 400 ingredients, in alcohol there is one. And we know very well what this one ingredient, ethanol, does to our body. On the other hand we dont know what those 400 ingredients do to our body.
Todo catador de bebida como tales whisky o vodka cuando toma por primera ver absolut es un sabor incomparable por eso es mi bebida predilecta para un buen catador
No need to drill down 120 metres to tap water from an aquifer if you are going to run it through a reverse osmosis filter, you could use any water and get the same result.
The experience of opening a bottle and sharing it with your bosom buddies after a day's work is so heavenly. It cannot be described in words. Cheers guys.
..yes..I wanted to see how Tabasco sauce was made so I visited Avery Island in Louisiana. We went up one side...saw them putting it into bottles...and came down the other side ...into the gift shop...I did not post the experience
We will be selling at a loss to for the vodka community. I think you meant to say, we want to sell at a loss to gain market share and make it impossible to compete, then jack up the price when we have dominance in the market. Selling at a loss will get you in hot water in some countries, as it decreases competition.
A lot of hype around brands but it's just ethanol. The better you purity it the better ... Then you dilute it with distilled water to around 40 abv and you have perfect voda
I'ma brandnew fan of your pear flav and mango since 2015. Haven't wrapped my car around a telephone pole or robbed anyone behind it but I do like to get my "sip-on" on the weekends after work in the man-cave. Hopefully one of these days I can visit the beautiful Sweden and come bacc wit tha shirt or a shot glass.
I wish the video would've been edited better, couldn't hear very well what they were saying and the clip jumps from one very short scene to the next, didn't really get to appreciate how this great Vodka was made.
But they produce it least by its own. Some or better most of the other brands just buy neutral 95% spirit and add they own fancy extremly pure and best tasting water on earth and put them into they own bottles an marketing them as the best on earth. So Absolut is one of the better one in this category!
I creat Absolut vodka academy with Claes Andreasson. I design the first vodka/spirits language in the world. Alcohol struture is the secret of high end spirits Absolut is really nice spirits
I'm more interested in the production process rather than this guy over exaggerating the product. For example whiskey producers be they Irish, Scottish or American are far more informative in showing the whole process and give a greater historical account of their product.
we spend billions of dollars and have high tech facilities and testing grounds to create more efficiant ways of blowing someone up so I don't see the problem here lol
