Absolut Vodka Tomorrowland Limited Edition 2022

This special edition celebrates the Tomorrowland festival, but the vodka inside is the familiar Absolut, made in Åhus, Sweden from local winter wheat and clear spring water. As with the rest of the range, it relies on continuous distillation, an uninterrupted column process that delivers a consistently mild, pure spirit rather than a characterful one, with wheat supplying the soft, rounded mouthfeel. At 40% by volume it is the clean, dependable base the brand is known for, here wrapped in a colourful bottle built to capture the festival's energy.

The nose is fresh and light with cereal and citrus. The palate is mild and smooth with a subtle sweetness and a touch of grain, finishing long, clear and refreshing. Suited to easy, celebratory drinking, send it into a Vodka Soda with lime: 50ml over plenty of ice, topped with soda and two lime wedges squeezed in, a clean, low-fuss long drink that keeps the night going without getting in the way of the music.
