One of the rarest Absolut bottles ever made — fifty copies, engraved by hand for the 500th anniversary of the 1492 landing in America. Carillon Importers, which had brought Absolut to the United States, commissioned Inner Light Crystal; Absolut shipped fifty-five unlabelled filled bottles for the purpose, five of them for samples and artist's proofs. David Sugar and Carol Iselin engraved a Native American shaman holding a quartz crystal inside an eagle spirit, surrounded by American figures past, present and future. Medallion, name plate and handle medallions are sterling silver, as is the cap, made to double as a shot glass and set with a semi-precious stone; the case is burled oak and ash lined with blue silk velvet. Bottle 1 went to Carillon president Michel Roux, bottle 2 to the head of V&S in Sweden, bottle 3 to Bill Clinton.
