Grey Goose Altius is a limited-edition, ultra-premium expression from Grey Goose, hand-bottled and individually numbered in small batches. It shares its base with the standard bottling, single-origin winter wheat from Picardie, France, but is cut with alpine spring water from the French Alps and chilled and filtered at glacial temperatures of -24°C, a process the brand says recreates the high-altitude ice crystallization that gives the vodka its smoothness. The bottle carries its own alpine-inspired design, a frosted white-to-blue gradient glass with three migratory geese embossed into it, distinct from the standard Grey Goose bottle.
CHARACTER
Green Apple: crisp and soft, on both the nose and palate
Fresh Herbs: alpine herb character on the nose, carrying into the finish
Mineral: a hint of minerality running through nose, palate and finish
Forest Floor: an earthy undertone noted on the palate
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Delicate and floral, with fresh alpine herbs, crisp green apple, and a hint of minerality.
PALATE- Alpine minerality and soft green apple carry into an earthy undertone, with an exceptionally smooth, velvety mouthfeel from the sub-freezing filtration.
FINISH- Long, with a lingering trace of alpine herbs and subtle minerality.
