A European vodka presented in a stocky frosted bottle with the suggestion of Viking incursion due a prominent Swedish flag and the boast that it is "made from Swedish spring water".

Gabriel Boudier, a family-owned company based in Dijon, France take neutral spirit made from French winter wheat and redistil it in small copper pot stills. The resulting distillate is filtered through diatomaceous soil using a Kieselguhr filter. Finally, it is reduced to bottling strength with water shipped from one of Sweden's most famous springs.
