Blue Label 1979

The bottle that started it all, launched in 1979 and drawn from an eighteenth-century Swedish medicine bottle found in a Stockholm antique shop. The glass is unpainted, unlabelled and carries the text directly — no medallion at the shoulder on the earliest runs, which are also wider and lower than what followed. It appeared at several strengths across markets, and in a plastic version.
