FAST FACTS:
- Master Distiller Borje Karlsson is often called “the Father of Absolut” for helping to create the famed vodka brand in the 1970s. Hans Brindfors, who created Karlsson’s distinctive round bottle, also created Absolut’s trademark bottle.
- Karlsson’s Gold is made from seven varieties of Swedish new potatoes. It is distilled and filtered only once to give the spirit an earthy flavor.
