Grey Goose Altius is Filtered at Subfreezing Temperatures

— April 25, 2024 — Lifestyle
The French Alps and high-altitude glacial crystallization inspired Grey Goose Altius, a new ultra-premium vodka that's filtered at subfreezing temperatures. "With consumers continuing to choose more premium drinks, we knew there was an opportunity to create a unique vodka that could deliver a new luxury experience inspired by the French Alps, from its bottle design to its liquid and its drink ritual," said VP of global marketing Martin de Dreuille.

This super-smooth vodka is made from Alpine spring water and winter wheat from Picardy in Northern France, and it's said to have a velvety mouthfeel with complex yet delicate notes of green apple, earthy undertones and minerality.

Grey Goose Altius is a club-exclusive expression that's hand-bottled at 40% ABV and individually numbered. It's launching first in premier European destinations like Ibiza, Mykonos and Saint-Tropez, then select United States cities and Dubai.
