Launched last October by the Frozen Ghost Distilling Company, Frozen Ghost Vodka is a premium vodka inspired by a ghost story of a character named Tobias. His image is on the unique bottle and the story below tells you of his life and afterlife.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57bJ_3D2gkGqRrv-htoZqLDwTUVFy7AxZ6M3DgFXNwsIm9AAv3qzJ-_8ZVAPg-y7labZTFmBzYTOdSatcO0zZb9O18DWzRigPLXpU95dZqkxGAWS4yCAhPXf4jGk_t3jhcuKmOJXhDzLb/s1600/FrozenGhost2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646867522697199634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57bJ_3D2gkGqRrv-htoZqLDwTUVFy7AxZ6M3DgFXNwsIm9AAv3qzJ-_8ZVAPg-y7labZTFmBzYTOdSatcO0zZb9O18DWzRigPLXpU95dZqkxGAWS4yCAhPXf4jGk_t3jhcuKmOJXhDzLb/s400/FrozenGhost2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 488px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Legend of the Frozen Ghost</span><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a story of people whose names are lost to time, set in a location which is a sworn secret, for reasons that will become clear at the end of this tale.<br /><br /><br /><br />Generations ago, a family in Western Canada had a proud but small farm. They raised crops and livestock so plentifully, they outproduced all the other farms in the colony. Soon, people began to realize that the spring that watered their land was the sweetest and purest in the area and was thought to be the source of their success.<br /><br /><br /><br />A jealous neighbor schemed to divert their water to his own property. Stealing onto their land one bitterly cold winter night, he was confronted by the farm’s owner, known only as Tobias. The neighbor struck him with his shovel, knocking him unconscious into a pond near the mouth of the spring. The water thief completed his work, diverting some of the spring’s output to his property by means of the underground channel he dug.<br /><br /><br /><br />Tobias’s body was later discovered in the ice that froze the pond deep on that frigid winter night.<br /><br /><br /><br />No one knew how he died. The secret was safe until the neighbor began to report a strange presence of Tobias that haunted his every step. A presence that ultimately drove him mad. He confessed everything as he was driven in a prison cart to the colony’s sanitarium.<br /><br /><br /><br />The farm has changed hands many times over the centuries, and now that same spring’s water is used to produce Frozen Ghost Vodka. That pure water gives Frozen Ghost its unparalleled smooth, crisp character, even before it is distilled six times for the ultimate purity.<br /><br /><br /><br />We won’t reveal the spring’s location for your own protection. For on the rare occasions that a visitor has attempted to approach the site, an undeniable chill overtakes the stranger, along with a dark foreboding that a more dangerous fate quickly approaches. It is said that Tobias is still keeping watch over his spring.<br /><br /><br /><br />So don’t let your curiosity overtake you and tempt you to search for the water’s source. Just be satisfied that you can raise a glass to the one who is watching over the pure taste of Frozen Ghost Vodka, the supernatural super-premium.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The commercial running in theaters:</span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jfItaYlGGmA?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" width="530"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Bottle:</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPlgh2JA5QTF1p9-8iIEQpt8k2Z5LMd668B32bdRVWhCD1pqZ0a8C75mPI9oIELZop5oeNY69fzlmql1AL2UacRYlvW7SDJryA-3aTCKMX9YZEpdjcH3lst7s9bYLFS6M5ONSmmtamKve/s1600/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646864992476851202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPlgh2JA5QTF1p9-8iIEQpt8k2Z5LMd668B32bdRVWhCD1pqZ0a8C75mPI9oIELZop5oeNY69fzlmql1AL2UacRYlvW7SDJryA-3aTCKMX9YZEpdjcH3lst7s9bYLFS6M5ONSmmtamKve/s400/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 392px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOAShqdUCaL0mmVS8JuvZkcwQk3Oe4RelY-ITTlSlHhTzorXqf5WFEbudkNpKtE1kY_xjZYzDmVYifSZscnFnbxy70yy_sqpyCTXR7JWQlkjOjiKshPpdCjZv4Hbts9vJBbegeYsW4jb4/s1600/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646864879621399426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOAShqdUCaL0mmVS8JuvZkcwQk3Oe4RelY-ITTlSlHhTzorXqf5WFEbudkNpKtE1kY_xjZYzDmVYifSZscnFnbxy70yy_sqpyCTXR7JWQlkjOjiKshPpdCjZv4Hbts9vJBbegeYsW4jb4/s400/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 392px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVaqSjwjMImla9lps7OI2eujHQpZycqu25nrRptBHuoxDEdX-6lCl84gh-fLkf_0-b51w68mq8PMAGz0TaGkF5eTPGQGAp-3NxB6CcNnxVIG489gT_STpuzkxs5B3mjMNt70TPUvo3LUc/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.27+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865482004287778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVaqSjwjMImla9lps7OI2eujHQpZycqu25nrRptBHuoxDEdX-6lCl84gh-fLkf_0-b51w68mq8PMAGz0TaGkF5eTPGQGAp-3NxB6CcNnxVIG489gT_STpuzkxs5B3mjMNt70TPUvo3LUc/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.27+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 578px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC5kHZTgxGGGDMVJvP_T_uvtdsfPVSYF9qaxizJHAIsfMnyuwKy0seLNpJ_cSyBD7cqzqfSGlCZX5898iYclfD5l_yKf24qgg0ZRqgj1MYNUGEpHl5RrRBtDXbv4EoBuxwjG7rOtvhG5G/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.08+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865871391087474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC5kHZTgxGGGDMVJvP_T_uvtdsfPVSYF9qaxizJHAIsfMnyuwKy0seLNpJ_cSyBD7cqzqfSGlCZX5898iYclfD5l_yKf24qgg0ZRqgj1MYNUGEpHl5RrRBtDXbv4EoBuxwjG7rOtvhG5G/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.08+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 512px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItPcEGTBkEK1xkznPs7XSKS-MdplPJr0A2AnbjSJQcCNWvWLcDwIj0QgQfZDD5WAw4V9zkIN_zvvL2Ux5xoBUDjV2c-z-jeT4KmGVTOJh0KvHb1tVLj6rDHSKL6UL6o1jkn4O5Tg2GcN_/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.19+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865670172715794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItPcEGTBkEK1xkznPs7XSKS-MdplPJr0A2AnbjSJQcCNWvWLcDwIj0QgQfZDD5WAw4V9zkIN_zvvL2Ux5xoBUDjV2c-z-jeT4KmGVTOJh0KvHb1tVLj6rDHSKL6UL6o1jkn4O5Tg2GcN_/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.19+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 437px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Credits: Creative Director: Richard Graves ; Designer/Art Director: Chuck Paris ; Black and white photos: Butch Hale, Dallas, Texas ; Client: Frozen Ghost Distilling Company</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Marketing:</span><br /><br />Dallas agency Levenson & Hill invented the legend based on the life—and afterlife—of a character named Tobias.

The website features a menu of drink recipes, including Frozen Ghost's signature cocktail, "Apparition Chill."<br /><br /><br /><br />"We believe that we have developed a narrative that will leave consumers haunted by a mystery that only Frozen Ghost Vodka can solve," said Andy Harmon, Chief Brand Officer of Levenson & Hill. "To trigger the imagination of consumers, we plan to unleash the ghost of Tobias, who is key to sparking consideration of Frozen Ghost Vodka.

Therefore, every year or so, I have a new vodka post for you. Not necessarily about the taste since, in all honesty, I have not tried all of them, but more about the bottle design or concept. And in some case, just unusual, limited editions or hard to find vodkas.<br /><br />Yes, I've covered the gun shaped and <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/10/funnyman-dan-aykroyds-crystal-head.html">skull shaped bottles</a>, those with <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2007/11/premium-vodka-distillers-drunk-with.html">Swarovski crystals and gemstones</a> and even <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/03/can-imbibing-save-planet-8-new-green.html">those whose bottles are made from renewable and sustainable materials</a>. But, just when I thought there wasn't much more Vodka talk out there, I found out there are vodkas infused with bacon, vodka bottles for which a tree is planted each time one is sold, bottles in Faberge eggs and even that tell your horoscope! How could I keep from sharing these with you? That said.... cheers!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1000 Acres and Blaze Vodka:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6TF4KwGq9ofHkfXwHj_H72svO4VgCwo6u_ZBlAnUsQAGzX_ZK4Bosw5NwI8Avy7X86RBuqr97blH_7-eIW-USK84kWDiEivT2PlRhKSb6WbbQ4UIQ5Px-I8e_EV0jn7cHzYgG4-irxM/s1600-h/acres02dailyicon.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329434819768501138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6TF4KwGq9ofHkfXwHj_H72svO4VgCwo6u_ZBlAnUsQAGzX_ZK4Bosw5NwI8Avy7X86RBuqr97blH_7-eIW-USK84kWDiEivT2PlRhKSb6WbbQ4UIQ5Px-I8e_EV0jn7cHzYgG4-irxM/s400/acres02dailyicon.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 278px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5cLTudVsc6ScTATSHUz1O_PHlr54VeVmY84jr1Alpgi4G_CB3AEZOwGphuDSiksxELUhbNq7zN2x-OhQCMDTHR1450I7rrM8oJRmZQ9aAAkmg0hMIfT8ZomUbqP1tYkNy1bW8_aio5s4/s1600-h/acres01dailyicon.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329434733078324450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5cLTudVsc6ScTATSHUz1O_PHlr54VeVmY84jr1Alpgi4G_CB3AEZOwGphuDSiksxELUhbNq7zN2x-OhQCMDTHR1450I7rrM8oJRmZQ9aAAkmg0hMIfT8ZomUbqP1tYkNy1bW8_aio5s4/s400/acres01dailyicon.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 276px;" /></a><br /><br />These stunning glass bottle designs for 1000 Acres vodka and Blaze Vodka By <a href="http://arnell.com/">The Arnell Group </a>(images from <a href="http://www.dailyicon.net/">daily icon</a>).

V2 is exceptionally smooth. The vodka used in V2 is made from long grain wheat. It is distilled five times and expertly filtered to be the best tasting vodka possible. The product is then infused expertly with a balance of Taurine and Caffeine.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXfKf0HSFullp4WjAxRCJVogElDj8Nfgo3_R15aXglbmrabYK16sIOKpJ3sPShaRE3olbaHXGTlIe946qRzrQmNVVg8PCI6ZMeuQKOMVyZYmDdEAww6Uzb-n6wIJ3RfuEAvcwUNwWFXL8/s1600-h/v2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329482880846557522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXfKf0HSFullp4WjAxRCJVogElDj8Nfgo3_R15aXglbmrabYK16sIOKpJ3sPShaRE3olbaHXGTlIe946qRzrQmNVVg8PCI6ZMeuQKOMVyZYmDdEAww6Uzb-n6wIJ3RfuEAvcwUNwWFXL8/s400/v2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 572px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0YXjmZio6ZGBMVmd0LQoFQlCLSy_H56HicsNLz47RHIBmbIp2vXMexdQYgaUNJU15VWmnT12aoRninAA-G5HolnuLe5PWL62t6wy8t72urkpWzUg_-kdYbAmba8tTYCgOoFLC0XLQbS8/s1600-h/v2mint.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329482996557943458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0YXjmZio6ZGBMVmd0LQoFQlCLSy_H56HicsNLz47RHIBmbIp2vXMexdQYgaUNJU15VWmnT12aoRninAA-G5HolnuLe5PWL62t6wy8t72urkpWzUg_-kdYbAmba8tTYCgOoFLC0XLQbS8/s400/v2mint.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 572px;" /></a><br /><br />Produced and bottled in Holland, V2 has everything you want and nothing you don’t want. There are no artificial colors, artificial flavors, carbonation, preservatives, or sugar, which is found in many energy drinks and low quality spirits.<br /><br />V2 Mint is infused with natural mint extracts.
