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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upstate-vodka-black-oxford) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zarova-vodka), 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.
