Vodka is one of those alcoholic spirits that come in many shapes and forms and flavours, but personally I always find the more branded types taste better. Absolut vodka is one of them! It comes in a clear glass bottle with a blue branding and a simple white twist cap lid. The vodka itself looks like water - but don't be fooled as it has left me in some undesirable positions stumbling home on a night so it is not as tame as it appears! It has a high vol of 40% which for me as a lightweight is pretty strong - one shot and I'm either a bit of a mess more often that not! In other words, it is a vodka which packs a punch has quite a harsh taste and tastes very ...  Read the complete review

It has to be said I am a real vodka girl, vodka and red bull, vodka and orange, vodka and coke, vodka and anything really but I am fussy which vodka. For a long, long time it had to be Smirnoff but then I discovered Absolut and really fell in love with it. It has a very similar strength and taste to Smirnoff but it seems to agree with me better the next day, I am never one for bad hangovers but with Smirnoff I got a severe sore head the next day for about my first two hours awake but nothing with Absolut. Absolut comes in the usual half bottle, 70cl bottle and the litre bottle and it is pretty much on a par with Smirnoff price wise too. ...  Read the complete review

Absolut vodka is definitely my favourite, widely sold brand of vodka. Unlike cheaper brands it's got a clean, sharp taste which when mixed blends in perfectly, leaving no sour aftertaste which is common with cheap brands and especially supermarket own brands. Absolut vodka is widely sold in the UK, and is one of the brands of choice for many retailers such as JD Wetherspoon, and in my opinion is a much nicer vodka than Smirnoff which is often bitter even when mixed. Absolut vodka comes in a variety of bottle sizes, including minatures, and is generally of a good value for money, though a little more expensive than the usual off the shelf brands. It is ...  Read the complete review

Absolut Vodka Description: Absolut Vodka is a Swedish brand of vodka, owned by V&S Group, and produced at their facilities near Åhus, Scania in southern Sweden. The largest export market is the United States where close to 73 million litres were sold in 2003. Absolut vodka is easily recognisable by it's clear bottle with electric blue lettering. It is available in most supermarkets and off licence's and comes in a variety of flavours too. If you like Bloody Mary's then try their peppered variety, it adds a delicious kick! A 70cl bottle cost me £16 so this definitely isn't the cheapest brand on the market. Having said that, I have ...  Read the complete review

I don't drink many spirits these days, being mostly a wine drinker (with the occasional Baileys thrown in), but in my younger days, vodka was definitely my drink. I still have the odd vodka based drink these days, and when I do this is the brand that I drink - representing a switch from the smirnoff I used to drink when out on the town. Absolut vodka is a Swedish brand and one that seems to keep growing in popularity amongst my circle of friends. It is quite strongly alcoholic (at 40%) so a little is all you need per drink. I often drink with coke as my mixer and it is quite a strong taste even with only a half measure added, so I would say it is definitely ...  Read the complete review
