High-end vodka brand Illuminati has officially launched in the United States with its first expression -- a seven-times-distilled premium rye vodka delivered in a sleek, black bottle.
The new 40% ABV vodka gets its name and design from 'The Illuminati,' a highly mysterious, world-famous cult consisting of both real and fictional groups. In keeping with the cult's ominous reputation, this premium spirit has been dressed in a matte black bottle with the iconic 'Eye of Providence' symbol. According to the company, the spirit is distilled and bottled in Poland, where it goes through a charcoal-based filtration system, removing any impurities.
“The team is aiming to turn this into not just a luxury product, but into a brand and lifestyle. We believe Illuminati Vodka is the epitome of quality, taste and style, and a product that will be instantly recognizable,” said Illuminati's brand co-officer, Gabby Fisher.
