Chocolate and orange flavours go so well together, like them orange-flavoured choc wafers. Hotdam!

So it’s not surprising, altho its makin me crave it big time, that Baileys has one such liqueur out, combining Irish cream, Irish whisky, chocolate and orange.

I want it all over ice, now! Ice-cream will do too.

Absolut is at it again. New bottle designs are out, and this time, it’s very unique. And vibrant. And happy.

Coz every bottle is different. They’re producing four million of these, but have created a method so that each is unique.

The bottles are basically regular Absolut-shaped ones, ‘cept they have a white label. And splash guns and algorithms and LSD were used on them. The production line was rewired.

And the designs & colours are pretty funky. Take a look at dis shit –

Look good enough to drink

They combined 38 bright colors and 51 abstract patterns, and a machine ensures randomness, so no two are alike. Cool-ass.

Yo PRM, can i have one?

According to Absolut, 94 quintillion uniquely-designed bottles could be produced before two identical ones appear. That’s more than 13 billion bottles per person on the planet.

Hmmm. I think they should go for it.

Absolut Unique is individually-numbered, available in 80 markets. They’re already in travel retail. Go get ’em!

Candies! Come get yor candies!

New Smirnoff Gold

Smirnoff Vodka now has a cinnamon-spiced mix with gold flakes. You can drink the gold too. It looks great, and is exclusive to travel retail.

The gold-etched bottle looks cool, and the flakes lie suspended. The drink was a hit during the trial run at Mumbai Airport, out-performing targets.

Texts show that the practice of putting gold in alcohol dates back to ancient Egypt. Them weird Pharaohs.

A recommended serve: The Golden Delicious – Smirnoff Gold mixed with apple liqueur, cinnamon and a dash of maple syrup.

I think i’ll infuse some cinnamon into my Baad Apples™ cider.

Like all Smirnoffs, it’s triple-distilled, 10 times charcoal-filtered. The product comes in a one litre bottle at 40%abv, with a recommended selling price of US$36 (RM108).

And another new Absolut bottle..

Absolut seems to be releasing new bottle designs every few months.

But the most exclusive and luxurious type of its iconic bottle is the Absolut Crystal Pinstripe.

Fancy

Inspired by the Savile Row pinstripe suit, the bottle has been designed by Swedish designer duo Skogsberg & Smart.

It was launched last week at Stockholm Airport, and in line with its exclusivity, will only be available at travel retail (soon). KLIA? I doubt it. Price is as yet unknown.

It’s hand-blown, hand-cut and hand-engraved in crystal by craftsmen at the Reijmyre glassworks in the Östergötland region in southern Sweden.

Set

Each bottle is numbered and signed by the cutter after inspection and approval. The bottle is presented in treasure chest case made by hand and dressed in traditional pinstripe fabric.

The case also contains two matching tumblers. The collection has been inspired by the Savile Row pinstripe suit.

With only 800 bottles produced, i reckon this one will interest bottle collectors.

 

Baileys Biscotti to launch

..in the UK for now. This is a brand new flavour, a blend of Baileys Original Irish Cream and the aroma of the traditional double-baked Italian biscuits, biscotti.

Cant wait

Biscotti is an almond and pine-nut biscuit.

This is now Baileys’ fifth flavour, as their flavour range is really going well. They’re pushing for Baileys to be enjoyed all year, and not just for Christmas.

Heck i’d enjoy it for CNY, Raya, Gawai, Kaamatan, Deepavali, Halloween, New Year, Wesak, Vesakhi, Valentine’s, breakfast….
