Absolut launches new bottle inspiring “wavemakers” to get their voices heard

Absolut launches new bottle inspiring “wavemakers” to get their voices heard

Absolut vodka is launching a new limited-edition bottle designed with expanding sound ripples to represent the power of the voice, to champion speaking up and to create a more open world.

Available from February, the sapphire blue Absolut Voices bottle is made using 80 per cent recycled glass, and also features a custom medallion in one of four vibrant colours.


The new release is part of an annual programme of limited-edition bottles from Absolut and is a celebration of the wavemakers and trailblazers of the world. It embodies the brand’s core belief that the world becomes a better place when we mix together beyond differences, and Absolut Voices shakes things up by encouraging people to connect for more inspiring and memorable moments. It is a powerful reminder of how bringing people from all walks of life closer can bring new perspectives, ideas and ways of thinking to empower progress in society.

“Celebrating diverse and different viewpoints has always been in our spirit, and the soundwaves on our new limited edition bottle represent the powerful voices we continue to support around the globe, and also signifies the impact and progress a society can make when different minds come together," said Marnie Corrigan, Brand Director at Pernod Ricard UK. "We’re constantly inspired by the idea that the world becomes a better place when we come together, share perspectives and empower one another, because we are born to mix. No matter where, or with whom, you’re mixing in the world, you can connect with Absolut.”

Absolut is growing in value more than triple the rate of the Total Vodka category, and the brand will be supporting the launch of Absolut Voices with a 360-campaign including in-store media, social and influencer activity to drive awareness. The new limited-edition bottle will be available in a 70cl format from all major grocers and wholesalers (RRP £19.95).
