Vodka<br />

“There’s no absolutes in life, only vodka.” – Mick Jagger<br />

Vodka is made through a distillation process <strong>and</strong> can be distilled<br />

from starches, such rye, wheat, sorghum <strong>and</strong> corn. Vodka can<br />

also be made from potatoes, molasses, <strong>and</strong> other byproducts,<br />

which is a pretty amazing fact about vodka you may not have<br />

known. Depending on the country where the vodka is made,<br />

the history of its production will vary. Some countries produce<br />

vodka specifically with certain substances, while others will vary<br />

their products. After the distillation process, the vodka is usually<br />

filtered, <strong>and</strong> occasionally, flavored.<br />

The history of vodka spans across many Northern <strong>and</strong> Eastern<br />

European countries including Russia <strong>and</strong> Pol<strong>and</strong>. Each country<br />

produces vodka in different ways with varying alcohol content,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the alcoholic beverage has progressed through the 14th<br />

century all the way to the 21st century. While the history of vodka<br />

is rich, every country around the world now enjoys vodka for how<br />

commonly known it’s become.<br />

One of the most popular vodkas sold on board our ships is<br />

Absolut vodka, whose history dates back to 1879, when it was<br />

first produced in a small village called Åhus in southern Sweden.<br />

Absolut practices an One Source production philosophy,<br />

meaning that all of their production takes place in <strong>and</strong> around<br />

the village of Åhus.<br />
