100
Absolut 100 is the overproof line of Absolut Vodka, bottled at 50% ABV, 100 proof, in a black bottle since 2007. It took over from the Red Label, the same strength in red livery, in use since 1979, and made its debut in travel retail at Singapore in March 2007 before reaching ordinary shops; the black bottle was designed by Pearlfisher. The bottle has been restyled several times since, each run told apart by its medallion or by how far the black reaches. The dark glass has also drawn a few special pieces, from a Swarovski-set bottle by Philipp Plein to gift sets made for a single shop or city.

Edition 1 of 8
Red Label
1979 · 11 variants
The overproof bottling — 50% ABV, 100 proof — that ran from 1979 until 2006, when Absolut 100 took its place. Spicy and distinct, but smooth and velvety with it. Only three copies of one version are known, and it was never publicly released.

100 2007
2007 · 7 variants
Absolut 100 joined the core range in 2007, taking the place of the Red Label with an overproof spirit in an all-black bottle. Like the rest of the family it is made at Åhus from winter wheat and water from the estate's own deep well, with no sugar added; the higher strength gives it a spicier, denser character than the standard blue label.

100 2017
2017 · 3 variants
