Flavoured Absolute Vodka

Toto Wolfcastle

I got some raspberry vodka for my sister in the airport and my friend is now looking for some. Anyone know where I can get it in Cork? Or any of the Absolute flavours? Thanks.

All of the following flavours should be available in most larger off-licences or large grocery chains,

ABSOLUT
ABSOLUT APEACH
ABSOLUT CITRON
ABSOLUT KURANT
ABSOLUT MANDARIN
ABSOLUT PEARS
ABSOLUT RASPBERRI
ABSOLUT VANILLA
ABSOLUT 100 PROOF

If you cannot get them locally, just ask the manager of your local off-licence to get some in, I don't think they would have a problem doing this once they know they are going to sell it.

Where did you get that list, for some reason I have only seen a few of those over here. Yet when I go to airports (I love browsing the duty free) I have seen all those and a few more. I have seen absolut mango recently, I have only seen the ones in bold in offies here, and peppar

In one james bond film he had a class suitcase with a cutout to hold a absolut bottle, it was the 50% one I think, which is a red label/writing.

Just looked on wikipedia

I work for the distrubtor and just checked our system to see what Absolut products we import in Ireland.

Right, just peppar was not on your list and I have seen it, but the offie I saw it in had stolichnaya many years before any others had it, so might go through a different route, they were wine specialists.

The Peach one is like paint thinner.

Yes, Peppar was sold in Ireland when Absolut was distributed in 12x700ml cases, since the change over to 6x700ml cases Peppar has not been imported and as far as I'm aware there is currently no plan to import this product in the near future.

I only ever saw it in 500ml bottles on sale here, a nice size for the bottle.

That's 500ml is from before Pernod Ricard bought V&S, it was at that time sold through a different distributor (not to sure who this was), now it is distributed through Irish Disitllers, Pernod Ricard.
