Review: Absolut Berri Acai Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

absolut berri acai vodka - CopyAbsolut Berri Acai vodka was introduced February 2010.  Their limited edition Los Angeles flavor was the inspiration for this flavor.  Los Angeles was Absolut’s second US cities flavor and it was introduced in 2008.  LA featured the same flavors plus acerolo, a cherry native to South America that Berri Acai doesn’t have.  It is one of twenty flavored vodkas Absolut creates for the US market in Ahus Sweden.  Berri Acai is made with Swedish winter wheat and pure deep well water.  A continuous distillation process is used before all natural acai, blueberry, and pomegranate is infused.  No sugar is added before bottling at 80 proof.

Before I get into the review I think it is important to discuss Acai.  Acai is considered by some to be a super food because of its high level of antioxidants.  The flavor is often described as mix of bitter berry with bitter sugar free dark chocolate.  This has prevented it from becoming a staple in American households.  I have only seen Acai mixed with other flavors, usually pomegranate, blueberry or both.  How is Absolut Berri Acai?  The aroma is led by blueberry.  I also pick up grape with pomegranate with a hint of raspberry.  The aroma is far more dominant than the flavor which enters as mineral water and a subtle dry berry. Pomegranate and raspberry join in before a blueberry peak as it warms in my mouth before fading with a hint of chocolate, a medium mouth warming, and the trademark Absolut vodka flavor before a peppery finish.  Berri Acai provides flavor without the sweetness those flavors would bring if sugar was on their ingredient list.  As such, some may find more enjoyment if Absolut Berri Acai was part of their cocktail instead of the sole companion of ice in a rocks glass.
