Grey Goose Altius is the prestigious apex of the Bacardi portfolio—an ultra-premium, single-origin expression that redefines French vodka. Latin for "higher," Altius pivots from the standard limestone filtration of Cognac to a mountain spring source high in the French Alps. Distilled from single-origin Picardy wheat and bottled at a concentrated 86 proof, this release is a structural study in textural weight and glacial minerality.

The Altius Distinction

By marrying high-altitude spring water with the brand's signature soft winter wheat, Grey Goose has achieved a "dense" vodka profile that prioritizes concentration over neutrality.

  • Elevated Proof: Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), providing a robust structural framework that carries flavor through dilution far better than standard 80-proof vodkas.
  • Glacial Water Source: Exclusively utilizes water from the French Alps, imparting a distinct crushed-mineral persistence and a silkier mouthfeel.
  • Picardy Precision: Every drop is sourced from single-origin Picardy wheat, allowing for a pure, traceable expression of the northern French terroir.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Clean and soft wheat character with faint floral lifts. Crushed mineral, anise, and almond develop with time, underpinned by fresh herbs and subtle citrus.

Palate: Medium-bodied and notably creamy. Entry of soft wheat and vanilla transitions into a mid-palate of white pepper, alpine minerals, and faint lemon zest.

Finish: Medium-long and crystalline. A persistent closing of wheat sweetness and mineral clarity with a sophisticated, soft spice resonance.

The Ultra-Premium Tier

Altius competes at the absolute summit of the category alongside Belvedere 10 and Beluga Gold Line. It is the choice for the collector who demands "single-origin" technical authority without the clutter of ornate decanters.

"A structural masterpiece that captures the silence and clarity of the French peaks."

Collector Notes

Grey Goose Altius is a high-priority acquisition for enthusiasts of the "single-origin" spirit movement. Representing a significant strategic pivot for the Bacardi-owned brand, Altius moves away from the limestone-heavy heritage of Cognac to embrace the high-altitude terroir of the Alps. Collectors prioritize this expression for its non-standard 86-proof bottling—a rarity in the French vodka category—and its distinct frosted alpine packaging. Bottles offered here are verified for pristine label and frost-integrity, including original luxury gift packaging where applicable. It is a mandatory cornerstone for any comprehensive modern spirits library.

Recommended Serving

To honor the mineral persistence and creamy texture, enjoy Altius neat and significantly chilled. Its 86-proof delivery makes it the premier choice for a classic Vodka Martini, as the higher concentration prevents the spirit from becoming "lost" against dry vermouth. It is an exceptional partner for caviar, oysters, or smoked salmon, where the alpine minerals act as a chiseled counterpoint to the richness of the seafood.
