Description

Grey Goose Altius is a premium, limited-edition vodka designed to elevate the Grey Goose portfolio. It leans into purity, smoothness, and a refined mineral character, with a cold-crystallization twist to emphasize freshness and clarity. It’s not meant to mask itself in mixers, but to shine when served neat, over ice, or in very minimalist vodka cocktails. Origins & Craftsmanship Altius uses spring water from the French Alps combined with the same soft winter wheat from Picardie that Grey Goose uses in its base expressions.  What sets Altius apart is a sub-freezing filtration / “crystallization” process at –24°C, designed to simulate the effects of high altitude and freeze out impurities to increase smoothness.  The bottle design is inspired by the French Alps — with windswept facets, a frosted gradient (white to blue), and embossed geese motifs — reinforcing the high-altitude branding.  Alcohol / ABV: 40% ABV (80 proof) as standard for Grey Goose.  Tasting Profile Element Notes Nose / Aroma Delicate and clean — soft wheat, faint floral hints, subtle citrus or green fruit, and a mineral-clear airiness.  Palate / Taste Exceptionally smooth, with refined wheat character, a whisper of minerality, and very fine texture. The cold filtration gives it a crisp edge without harshness.  Finish Clean, poised, and lingering — the mineral clarity and purity stay in the aftertaste, with no heavy residual sweetness or burn.  Food, Serving & Cocktail Pairings Serve / Presentation • Best enjoyed very cold (but not frozen) — neat or over a large ice cube to preserve smooth character • In minimalist cocktails (vodka + soda, vodka + ice and citrus twist) so the character isn’t lost • Alternatively, as a premium component in very clean cocktails (vodka martini with minimal vermouth, or vodka & tonic with premium tonic) Pairings • Fresh seafood, oysters, ceviche — the mineral clarity pairs well with brine and shellfish • Light vegetable dishes or salads with citrus or herb dressings • Mild cheeses, especially fresh or goat cheeses • Delicate desserts, fruit-based (pear, apple) or light citrus tarts • Caviar or smoked fish when you want the vodka to support rather than overshadow Quick Overview Feature Detail Name Grey Goose Altius Type Ultra-premium vodka (limited / special release) Key Techniques Alpine spring water + Picardie wheat + –24°C crystallization filtration ABV / Proof 40% (80 proof) Style / Character Exceptionally smooth, mineral, clean, refined
