Absolut Mandrin was launched in 1999, 20 years after Absolut vodka. It’s the fourth flavoured Absolut product after Absolut Peppar, Absolut citron, and Absolut Kurant. And since mandarin and orange are among the most popular flavours in the world – Absolut Mandrin was received with the same enthusiasm as the rest of the family members.
The main ingredients in Absolut Mandrin are Absolut Vodka and orange, mandarin, and citrus flavour. Absolut Vodka is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus, Sweden, where it is protected from impurities. The winter wheat is sewn in Åhus in the fall and grows throughout the winter under the Swedish snow, developing into a hard grain. Harvested the following fall, this distinctive grain helps give Absolut its signature taste. The use of fertilizers is minimized, and the citrus fruits are just as natural as the rest of the ingredients.
The crystal clear Absolut Mandarin vodka presents complex, smooth and mellow with a fruity mandarin and orange character mixed with a note of orange peel. On the nose, the Absolut Mandarin is just intense with an aroma of orange peel.
For all fans of citrus fruits, Absolut Mandrin is the perfect appetizer and digestive. Just add some ice. But, it’s also the perfect base for many enjoyable drinks.
