Product Info: The juicy ripened character of Absolut Pears is fruity in flavor, and smooth. Its distinctly pear aroma and taste calms the palate with a hint of freshness. Tasting Notes: Color: Clear. Taste: Fresh and delicate, with a smack of mellow pears and a long fruity aftertaste. Brand/Product History: In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as Absolut. Just as then, Absolut is produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith’s birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won’t change, neither will the true taste of vodka. Read Less
