Created as a luxury cuvée for Tsar Alexander II, Cristal's flat-bottomed, clear bottle was specially designed to both differentiate it from a common green bottle and to prevent explosives from being concealed within it. Seriously. Its image is as socially iconic as the prestige blend contained within, with media references from Tarantino to Showgirls and devotion from both the Yakuza and the Russian mob. Na Zdorovie!
