Absolut Elyx Review

If you want to add only one bottle of vodka to your bar cart, look no further. Made from winter wheat, its aromas arrive richer than is typical for the category, and the robust character continues on the palate in the form of pleasant grain flavors and bold texture. Factor in its higher than average 42.3 percent ABV, and you have the ideal formula for cocktail creation.
