A Luxurious Product with Dazzling Style
Each bottle of Level is made in Athus, Sweden, a small, picturesque town. This region, with a tradition of over 400 years producing this drink, has the ideal conditions (like climate and knowledge) to produce it.

The Perfect Balance
At the beginning of the 19th century, Absolut became the forerunner of the “continuous distillation” method. This process removes all impurities and unwanted elements in order to offer the palate a pure, soft, silky drink.
The fragmented distillation method is also used. This functional process is only done by artisans who know that what is filtered is just as important as what is left behind because the latter is what provides a unique, distinctive flavor.
Faced with both options, Absolut debated among the distinctive flavor produced by fragmented distillation and the softness created by continuous distillation. Could a balance between both be achieved? The outcome was Level, in which the two methods are blended in order to obtain a perfectly soft, unique drink.

Water and Wheat
More than half of vodka’s liquid is water, which is decisive element of its flavor. For its production, Absolut has searched for a perfect balance of minerals, finding total purity. All the water that is used to produce Level is drawn from wells and strictly tested deposits.
The second ingredient is wheat. Even though regular vodka can be made in different ways and with varied ingredients, those that pride themselves on being the finest must be made with pure elements. Level uses only winter wheat reaped in Athus: it grows soft and strong and germinates before the cold weather sets in.

A Luxurious Evening
Experts recommend savoring this premium vodka as the first drink of the evening. Different from Absolut Vodka’s other personalities (Raspberri, Mandarin, APeach, etcetera), which have a younger flavor, Level is distinctive, noble, sophisticated and proud of its Swedish lineage.
