Just in time to commemorate the Rugby World Cup taking place in New Zealand, the Absolut Huffer Case has been released by the popular Vodka brand. This limited edition Absolut Vodka bottle boasts a polished, black finish and is printed with the outline of the country's map in shimmery, silver dots.
The Absolut Huffer Case was designed by TBWA\Whybin in Auckland. The company's challenge was to create an appealing packaging that would appeal to natives of New Zealand, as well as those visiting from other corners of the world during the Rugby tournament. The finished product of the Absolut Huffer Case is a sophisticated and elegantly packaged bottle of vodka.
