Absolut Akimbo!

absolut akimbo

Absolut Akimbo! I managed to get two (2) 1 liter bottles of duty-free vodka goodness from my sister and her husband traveling back from NZ. I wanted Absolut New Orleans and Absolut Los Angeles (the two new city themed Absolut vodka flavors) but my sister couldn’t find it…or couldn’t be bothered to look for it, I’ll never be sure. πŸ˜‰

absolut ruby red

She couldn’t find Absolut Pears (to complete my Absolut-ly Fabulous liquor collection) either, so I settled with Absolut Ruby Red, which I already have and thus have earned the right (in my twisted rhetoric) to drink…

absolut mango

…and Absolut Mango, launched earlier this year for my collection.

absolut madness

I’ve been trying to find the elusive Absolut 100 (2007) in the black bottles that weighs in at a respectable 50% alcohol but it’s apparently not available at our fine KLIA duty free retail experience. Oh well…

Happy monthsary, dear. πŸ™‚

  1. I have Absolut 100 (alongside my Smirnoff Black in the freezer), I can’t remember where I bought it though, I think it was KLIA.

  2. Taste wise which is better? Hope you did’nt drink whole bottle at one sitting? Hope on your day off. Afraid of drinking too much due to loss memory and where I left my wallet. Man, that was a lot of cash also.
    Maybe been punish for that.

  4. Is there any unusual alcohol drinks made in Malaysia? In Hawaii there pineapple wine and mango wine and Japan peach sake and apple wine.
    Is there durian wine? I know it strange and I do not eat durian just like to collect and give away to friends.
    When you do settle in KL please show many places in KL to people in Amercia .

  6. There lot of Russian people in the San Francisco bay area and that most popular liquor around. Still it wine country since near Napa so wine is number 1. We have those type of vodkas too at and outlet that sell at rock bottom price call Beaverage and More.
    Special sale of week buy one get another at half off. But now people are careful not to drink too much so business is slow.

  7. I drink but not really into it. Social only. At least you do it at home where it more safe. I do not trust myself in driving when out drinking with friends if so take a taxi home.

  10. Notice you never care to drink rice wine or sake? Very happy you will be at KL. How many hours by plane from Sibu to KL? I could’nt find it on the web. Well vodka I like it in Black Russian or White Russian.

  11. I’ve got the Absolut Mango even before they launched it in Malaysia. It smelled great. The taste is just like mango. Very exotic and I love it. I only like to collect the Absolut bottles because when it comes to drinking vodka, Grey Goose is still the best!

  12. I heard Black Russian? Yes very chic cocktail it more of a city drink which business men and women like to order. I like Long Island Ice Tea it very good cocktail also.

  13. ShaolinTiger: KLIA! My sister probably didn’t bother looking then. She was arriving international, and claimed she didn’t see any besides the regular flavors. She didn’t even see Absolut Pears.
    Nok: I haven’t opened the Absolut Mango yet. I just drank the Absolut Ruby Red coz I already have a bottle of that. I collect Absolut vodka oz I like the advertising. πŸ™‚
    chefmel: Hey, that’s great! Can you get some alcohol for me? I’m not an alcoholic too, just a social drinker. Problem is, I socialize every day. πŸ˜‰
    Training a little now, haven’t gone all out coz of travel plans. πŸ˜‰
    Erica: Well, there’s tuak, our local rice wine. It’s made in Sarawak. I haven’t seen durian wine around but have seen Tongkat Ali wine (a local aphrosidiac, supposedly).
    n0thingness: Okay, thanks, now I know where to get it. RM 100 for the 1 liter bottle? Usual Absolut vodka is about RM 63. Worth the premium though. Cheers!
    Michale: I like Smirnoff as well, especially the blue label which has 50% alcohol. It’s the one I drink when I was er…having problems with alcohol a couple of years back. My tipple of choice. They don’t have good marketing and packaging though, but a solid vodka.
    Vennie: Hmm…I kinda drink and drive. I know it’s not the best thing to be doing, but I like to think that I’ve been doing that for so long that I’m used to it and tend to be more careful then when sober. I don’t drive if I’m too inebrieted though.
    suituapui: The Absolut Mango is for my collection. I already have a bottle of Absolut Ruby Red. πŸ™‚
    Yeah, second monthsary. Hmm…see how it works out. πŸ˜‰
    Alex: Thanks mate! I would love the collectibles (city themed series, Absolut Bling Bling etc) since they apparently don’t have it over here. I’ll get the Absolut 100 from Perlis since it’s available here. Cheers!
    Andy: I do drink sake, but the price of sake here is very expensive. The cardboard cartons (like the ones for milk) goes for RM 100-200 and it’s only available at certain locations so I don’t drink it much. I do like it though.
    2 hours flight from Sibu to KL.
    xin: No lar…I cooked something actually, will write the post this weekend. I have been very busy lately with everything that’s going on. πŸ™‚
    About the taste, you get used to it. πŸ˜‰
    crappy booze: Cannot. πŸ™‚ It’s for my collection.
    It’s also available at KLIA.
    Nicole: Nice, which ones? I’ve got a friend going to Bangkok next month and he’s not a drinker. Do they have the Absolut city themed series? I would love to get a hold of that.
    eiling: I haven’t tasted it yet, I’m going to get another bottle. I should have asked my sister to get two bottles of Absolut Mango since I already have Ruby Red. One for drinking and one for keeping. Yeah, I like to collect the bottles too, coz they look really nice.
    I prefer drinking single malt if I have the money, Macallan 12 years tastes pretty good, but the aged 18 years and above are great. I’ve had a Macallan 30 year old once, and that was when I had a huge windfall. πŸ™‚
    suituapui: Haha! Well, I know you don’t drink so it’ll be safe with you. I’ll just keep it in my bedroom though. πŸ™‚
    Peggy: Yeah, used to be a big fan of cocktails. I even had one I created called “Something wicked this way comes…” (one of my taglines for a site or blog I used to own) at Luconia, a pub owned by a friend. It’s LETHAL! πŸ™‚
    Served in a tall glass, all the stuff inside is at least 40% with the exception of one or two. Served neat and expected to be drunk with a straw in one non-stop sip. I did a post about that before, some people came up to me and told me horror stories after drinking it. Heh!

  17. It can trim back your offline merchandising costs too if you get it finished properly. Finding somebody who not only does SEO but does the content initiation and distribution for you as well as keyword search, updating content on your web site and blog, having professionaly scripted releases at under costs as mentioned previous is what suits many small job proprietors and yet there are some who try to do it themselves, they get stuck as they dont have the cognition or the technical sciences to do it quickly and they give up. Thank you for this article! I’ve just acquired a easily stunning archive about seo marketing Test it!

  21. The best time to write your own private stuff is when you will be inspired about one or two side of your MLM business. If you have just acquired a good tip from your MLM training webcast or from your very own upline sponsor, write about it. If you are studying a new over the internet MLM advertising campaigns skill, write about that. Any time your original juices are flowing, write about it. Simply be sure that no matter you’re writing goes to assist somebody else. As they are saying in certain programs, contribute your experience, strength, and hope.
