Next in line for the Absolut Cities series is Absolut Istanbul, for all you jive Turkeys. The bottle features art from Turkish painters Yigit Yazici (pronounced yggtyzchee), Okan Bayulgen (pronounced oknbuellgn), and Anjelique’te Ortakoy (that one’s a no brainer). The artists attempt to capture the essence of Istanbul with pictures of its fishing industry, the Galata Tower, and bright, wavy lines. Whether or not this has anything to do with a change in taste or how it will affect your level of intoxication is yet to be seen.
Absolut x Jamie Hewlett Collector’s Edition
Culture By on Feb 8, 2012
Absolut bottles have always been pretty damn stylish, but this is on some other plateau right here. British comic book artist and designer Jamie Hewlett has splashed his signature style all over the ABSOLUT LONDON collector’s edition bottle meant to recognize London’s fashion pioneers over the past 200 years. Hewlett co-created the Tank Girl character as well as the animated musical group Gorillaz. It’s a collector’s item, sure, but it’s also Absolut, so let’s face it, if you save this bottle – and you should – it’s gonna be an empty.
Absolut Gräpevine
Culture By on Jan 5, 2012
When does a party become a party? When beer pong commences? When someone loses an eye during the darts game? When it gets hot in herr and people take off all their clothes? Perhaps that was the case back in the day. But now, a party isn’t a party until someone brings the flavored Absolut vodka. Absolut has a tendency to introduce limited edition flavors turned permanent shelf fixtures, and their 15th variety flavor, Gräpevine, is no exception. You got a glimpse of this now permanent limited edition flavor a while back that combines the natural flavors of grape, dragonfruit & papaya. This versatile mixing ingredient will launch in the US first, then globally in select markets.
