It seems like every other month, Aboslut is dropping some sort of crazy exclusive bottle. Honestly, I had skipped putting a few on the blog, but when I saw this one, I knew I had to throw it up. Pernod Ricard launches Absolut Vodka Crystal Pinstripe which is “the most exclusive and luxurious version of its iconic Absolut bottle”. Inspired by the Savile Row pinstripe suit, the bottle has been designed by Swedish designer duo Skogsberg & Smart. It was hand-blown, hand-cut and hand-engraved in crystal by craftsmen at the Reijmyre glassworks in the Östergötland region in southern Sweden. A total of 800 bottles of Absolut Crystal Pinstripe will be available, each numbered and signed by the cutter after inspection and approval.
The product is presented in a pinstripe fabric-clad case, with two hand-crafted crystal tumblers and “various other specially designed devices”. An Absolut Crystal Pinstripe Black Bottle has been crafted in a limited edition of just ten bottles, certainly the most exclusive version of the iconic Absolut bottle shape. The black, lead-free coating is applied in a unique, glass-blowing technique with old traditions at Reijmyre glassworks. Super sick with it.
