Absolut Elyx is a single estate, copper crafted vodka that is the luxury expression of Absolut. The smooth finish makes it ideal for batching cocktails for friends or even just enjoying by yourself.

Why copper? The accents are not only on-trend – For the perfect raw spirit for Elyx we achieve maximum contact with copper by using sacrificial copper. This process is called copper canalization. The raw spirit is further rectified using a vintage copper still from 1921 which is hand operated to make our unique fine spirit. The use of the hand operated copper still involves traditional skills and techniques known only by a select few. It is our unique way in which we use copper that gives Elyx its celebrated rich silky mouthfeel and exceptionally smooth finish.
Stop by the Elyx Boutique and check out their timeless stemware and barstools. Everything is so stylish and beautiful to store on your home bar or bring as a gift to holiday parties. At the very least, treat yourself to some Elyx and celebrate in style—you can rest assured it’s a purchase you’ll feel good about and a guaranteed social favorite, because, Copper Makes It Better!
