While you may not think of a mainstay brand like Sweden’s Absolut as coming with a locally-sourced pedigree, the brand works to craft everything from the wheat and water that goes into the distillation to the glass bottles it packages in from around its home base in southern Sweden. Their ultra-luxe Elyx (42.3% ABV) range is even sourced from grains from a single estate and manually distilled in a vintage copper still to create an extra-smooth spirit that’s perfect for martinis and other vodka-forward cocktail applications.
