Elyx
Absolut Elyx is the premium vodka Absolut introduced in 2010, made from single-estate wheat and distilled in a copper column still dating from 1921. The wheat comes from the Råbelöf estate in southern Sweden, farmed since the 1400s, and the still in Åhus is worked by hand. Copper runs through the line from the still to the label: the bottle has been reworked several times, growing taller and narrower, trading its printed text for a copper label and, in 2019, moving to faceted glass that is 40% recycled. Elyx has also come in tins and musical or lit presentation pieces.

Edition 1 of 10
Elyx #1
2010 · 3 variants
Absolut's premium line, and a deliberate step backwards in method: hand-selected single-estate wheat from Råbelöf Castle, where wheat has been grown since the 1400s, distilled by hand in a vintage all-copper rectification column. Every valve and handle is set manually, and the copper catalyses trace compounds out of the spirit, which is where the silky texture comes from. Seed to bottle happens within fifteen miles of the distillery at Åhus.

Pineapple
2015 · 2 variants
Absolut Elyx's copper pineapple, which the brand called its Pineapple of Hospitality and the flagship of its copper barware, is a pineapple-shaped drinking vessel in copper-plated brass, sealed with a food-safe lacquer and meant to be sipped through a straw. It launched in November 2015 with a pop-up water truck that toured New York, Los Angeles and Miami, each vessel sold providing a month of safe water to someone in need, and was later joined by a mini version sold as a set of three.

Edition 8 of 10
Elyx #5
2019 · 8 variants
The 2019 redesign, in glass that is 40% recycled. The bottle is faceted so it catches light the way the copper does — a nod to the 1921 column still that the whole product is built around.
