Aberfeldy 12 Year Old The Golden Dram (70cl, 40%)
The bottle presented in a golden tin, Aberfeldy 12 is a fruity, clean and polished malt with a touch of honey and spice. An excellent introduction to this Highland distillery. Aberfeldy’s main claim to fame is as the heart of the excellent Dewar’s blend but whiskies like this are putting it firmly in the spotlight.
Absolut 72 Bian China Limited Edition Release 2010 70cl, 40%
Absolut 72 Bian, featuring the work of young Chinese artist Gao Yu, was our first limited edition bottle for China.
Gao Yu’s design was inspired by the ancient Chinese fable, “Journey to the West,” a heroic story about the monkey king Sun Wukong who acquires the power to undergo 72 transformations (or 72 bian). Using his fearlessness and creativity, he is able to overcome all obstacles.
As 2010 is the year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar, Mr. Gao added tiger stripes to the monkey king’s face as a nod to the traditions.
Despite our geographical distance and cultural differences, we can genuinely relate to the history of an icon, in constant transformation, making progress by being bold and creative.

Absolut Berlin Limited Edition Release 2014 (70cl, 40%)
When we confirmed our collaboration with Berlin-based American artist Zhivago Duncan, we were hoping for one of his beautifully messy and anarchic pieces of art. And there was not a single splash of disappointment.
Duncan’s design turns the iconic Absolut bottle into a window looking onto one of Berlin’s own iconic Monuments – the Fernsehturm. The bottle features a magnified image of the Fernsehturm’s famous sphere, with aDick Flashquote done graffiti-style: “Es ist nicht einfach immer ein Rebell zu sein” – “It’s not easy to always be a rebel.” A perfect expression of the spirit of a city that has long been at the forefront of contemporary art and culture.
The color palette reflects aspects of Duncan’s own experience of Berlin: gray for the old cement structures, green for the urban forests, turquoise for the oxidation of old statues, cadmium yellow for the golden bricks during a Berlin summer sunset, and pink for the sunrise after a long night out engaging the city and its people.
Duncan never shies away from pushing the boundaries in his artistic expression. Something we can relate to. This collaboration was special to us.

Absolut Blank No.1 Wagner Limited Edition Release 2012 70cl, 40%
A Space for Space
After the Absolut Blank campaign, where 20 artists had complete creative freedom to redesign the iconic bottle shape, we were able to continue the campaign through Mario Wagner and his space-inspired artwork.
Wagner’s design’s visual language is based on the 1960s – an era characterized by the race to the moon and the legendary moon landing. To ensure visual continuity, he used some elements that were also part of his designs for the Absolut Blank campaign.
Continuing this campaign with such a custom bottle was honestly not part of the original plan – but when a project evolves into something new, why on earth would we hold back on a space-themed limited edition?

Absolut Blank No.2 Kinsey Limited Edition Release 2013 70cl, 40%
The explosion of bright colors and darker hues embodies Dave Kinsey’s unique balance between his roots in street artistry and extraordinary skills in fine art. A delicate flower, calmly placed in the center of the vibrancy and energy of the city. The interaction, and sometimes the struggle between the urban and the natural. Stunning.
Absolut Kinsey came as part of the Absolut Blank Campaign, where 20 artists from different parts of the world within different fields of artistic expression, were to fill our iconic bottle with their unrestrained creative power.
It was the broad spectra of Dave Kinsey’s skills that made his motif stand out on a blank canvas as well as on the shelf. So we decided to put it there.
Absolut Blank No.3 Pilpeled Limited Edition Release 2013 75cl, 40%

Inspired by the landscape of the Nordau, Rothschild and Chen boulevards, the two-sided set design offers a window peek into Tel Aviv’s boulevard at night, symbolising the energy in your whole surrounding, so strong you can feel it.
Absolut Pilpeled was part of the Absolut Blank campaign, where 20 artists where given total creative freedom within our iconic bottle shape.

Absolut Canada Limited Edition Release 2017 (75cl, 40%)
What do you get for a country’s 150th birthday? A limited edition Absolut bottle sounded like an ideal gift from us.
Much like Absolut, Canada has a long history of diversity, inclusiveness and innovation. So to help us celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we sought someone who exemplifies those same values to collaborate with us on a limited edition Absolut bottle – Canadian textile artist Libs Elliott.
An innovator at heart, Libs is famous for creating unique quilts using age-old methods blended with cutting edge technology. Each quilt ends up being a one-of-a-kind variation of colour, shapes and fabric – a fitting metaphor for Canada. “We’re also all these different pieces, shapes and colours,” says Libs, “with different beliefs, customs and values – but we all somehow fit together.”
Her Absolut Canada bottle design – created through the same process as her quilt-making – features traditional Canadian motifs and colours to reflect the pride we all shared in this special anniversary. It was also a fitting way for Absolut to celebrate Canada’s rich heritage while looking forward to what lies ahead of us.
Happy birthday Canada! Here’s to 150 years of forward thinking.

Absolut Chicago Limited Edition Release 2013 (75cl, 40%)
The Chicago blues, jazz, soul, and gospel. The origin of house music and the melting pot of hip hop. Chicago has always known how to source a crowd in the name of creativity, passion and energy.
When we turned to Chicago for our upcoming launch within the Cities series, we wanted to step into that house, wrap our bottle around that soul and be part of that crowd.
So we teamed up with the modern crowd sourcers – the Chicago-based online design communityThreadless. Pioneers in community-driven design and best known for their acclaimed T-shirt designs, Threadless’s membership model routinely invites work from members, which is then voted on, with the winning designs produced.
The top contribution made byRoss Bruggink, was a humorous, creative, edgy and well-thought through design, with local details for local appeal. We couldn’t be happier.
Absolut Chicago was truly a flavor for the crowd – by the crowd. And we are proud to have played a tiny part of its ongoing history.
Speaking of flavor; Absolut Chicago was an olive- and rosemary-flavored vodka, smooth and mellow with a well-balanced spiciness – making it perfect for classics like the Dirty Martini.

Absolut Colors Limited Edition Release 2008 (70cl, 40%)
The rainbow flag. A proud champion of love and freedom of expression. A symbol that unites liberated minds, that encourages people to be who they are.
Absolut Colors. A true belief that everyone has the right to express themselves in any way possible. Love whomever you want to love. Be who you are.
For this limited edition it only made sense to collaborate with artist Gilbert Baker, one of the most prominent forces of the modern LGBT movement and designer of the original rainbow flag back in 1978. Dressed in the Pride flag, the Absolut Colors bottle design was both a nod to our long-standing support for the LGBT community as well as a pledge to continue our support for equality.
Inspiring the world to see how all love is equal, Absolut created a short film documenting a surprise proposal from one lover, Amanda, to another, Paige. We took them back to the beach where they had their first date. A series of clues lead to a proposal of a lifetime. A beautiful memory was preserved forever.
Absolut Colors manifested the important message of solidarity, love and respect for diversity.
Absolut believes #loveislove. And that love is all you need.

Absolut Electrik Silver Limited Edition Release 2015 (1L, 40%)
One of the many wonderful limited edition presentations of Absolut Vodka – the Electrik bottlings are very shiny indeed, presented in a colbalt blue and a metallic silver.
The Electrik bottles are the 2015 end-of-the-year edition.
Absolut Electrik contains the same Swedish vodka as a bottle of Absolut Vodka. It is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. In fact, Absolut is as clean as vodka can be. Still, it has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. All absolut is made in the same distillery, with wheat from the same fields, and water from our own deep well.
Absolut Electrik follows a celebrated tradition of introducing end of year limited editions featuring cutting-edge designs. The twin bottle release is available in electrik blue and silver, with semi-transparent coating creating see-through reflections. The two colors represent Absolut’s signature cobalt blue and the electrical conductivity of silver. When combined, the colors reflect an Electrik aesthetic reminiscent of flashing lights and pumping beats.

The round edges of the bottle have been cut into like a gem, creating a number of facets reflecting the light in unique ways symbolizing the many directions a night out can take you.

Absolut Orient Apple Release 2011 (1L, 40%)
Absolut Orient Apple is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other flavored vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. Absolut Orient Apple is fresh and fruity with a distinct character of ripen red apples with a slight note of ginger.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. Absolut Orient Apple is made the same way, the only difference is the taste of ripen red apple and ginger. And, like the rest of the family, it’s produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith’s birth town. Since the process will never change, neither will the true taste of Absolut Orient Apple.
The main ingredients in Absolut Orient Apple are Absolut Vodka and ripen red apple and ginger flavor. Absolut Vodka is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it’s protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it’s sown one fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the apples and ginger are as natural as the rest of the ingredients.
Absolut Rainbow Limited Edition Release 2017 (70cl, 40%)
Since the early 1980’s, we have been supporting the LGBTQ+ community as part of our strong belief that people should be free to love who they choose, and everyone should be free to express themselves.
Back in 2008 – for the 30th anniversary of the Pride Flag and our first Pride bottle – it only made sense to collaborate with artist and activist Gilbert Baker, one of the most prominent forces of the modern LGBTQ+ movement and designer of the original Rainbow flag back in 1978.
And in 2018, when Gilbert Baker’s rainbow flag was about to turn 40, we thought it was time for the Rainbow to get a permanent place in the Absolut family as a symbol and celebration of our long and strong support to the LGBTQ+ community.
This humble tribute to our late friend Gilbert Baker is filled with the closest thing we will ever get to such an immortal legend – Absolut Vodka Original.

Angel’s Envy Bourbon Port Finish 70cl, 43.3%
An interesting bourbon with a unique twist – after the initial maturation it takes a leaf out of Scotch Whisky’s book and spends between 3 and 6 months finishing in port barrels. The more experimentation the better, we reckon, especially when it turns out something like this – marrying the sweet caramel and grain of bourbon with the rich sticky wine flavours of a port cask.

Balvenie 25 Year Old Rare Marriages (70cl, 48%)
A 25-year-old single malt from Balvenie’s Rare Marriages series, matured exclusively in European and American oak casks and married in a tun to create a fruity, elegant whisky. Aromas of autumn fruits, runny honey, crystalised ginger and oaky spice fill the nose, complemented by notes of toasted marshmallows, apple tart, cinnamon and fruit salad throughout the palate.
Balvenie 25 Year Old Single Barrel 70cl, 47.8%
The Balvenie 25 Year Old Single Barrel Traditional Oak, was introduced to the Balvenie single malt Scotch whisky range in 2014. Released in batches, each bottle is one of no more than 300, drawn from a single cask, all of which are refill American oak casks. There will be slight variations between batches, but the casks selected by Malt Master David Stewart for this release are chosen for having the richly spiced, sweetly honeyed character you’d expect from 25 year old Balvenie single malt aged in American oak. This means there is an overarching consistency between batches.
