Limited-edition Crystal Head Vodka artist series launches exclusively in travel retail

Crystal Head Vodka has teamed up with artist John Alexander to create a limited-edition artist series bottle. The bottle will be available exclusively in travel retail until August and Dufry will be the first retailer to offer the collectible in select North American airports.

Each of the 25,000 bottles were hand-decorated and numbered in Milan

25,000 of the John Alexander Artist Series No.1 bottles have been produced, including 700ml and 750ml sizes. The suggested retail price US$149.95.

The skull-shaped bottle is derived from Alexander’s 1988 oil painting ‘Dancing on the Water Lilies of Life’, which is currently on-display in the Dallas Museum of Art. The decoration process of the bottles takes place in a small artisanal workshop in Milan, Italy. Each piece was hand-decorated by one of three craftsmen and then numbered.

John Alexander said: “I am thrilled to unite this expressive painting with the unique design of the Crystal Head bottle to help create the first edition in the artist series. This bottle stays true to the signature style of Crystal Head and appeals to spirit drinkers and art lovers alike.”

Crystal Head Vodka Managing Partner Jonathan Hemi commented: “John Alexander is an exceptionally talented artist and has been involved in our creative process from inception. It is only fitting that he designed this special-edition bottle as we continue to introduce products that push boundaries and create an excitement our consumers gravitate towards.”

Crystal Head Vodka is additive-free and crafted using high-quality ‘peaches and cream’ sweet corn. It is blended with water from St. John’s, Newfoundland and four times distilled before being filtered seven times, three of which are filtered through over 10,000 Herkimer diamonds.
