World First ABSOLUT Brand Store @ KLIA

We took KLIA Express or Express Rail Link (ERL) to and from KLIA on the same day to visit the World First ABSOLUT Brand Store @ KLIA. Two weeks ago ABSOLUT has just opened the World’s First ABSOLUT Brand Store located right here at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Malaysia.

ABSOLUT Brand Store @ KLIA

In fact this ABSOLUT Brand Store in KLIA is the only other place in the world where you can find all the ABSOLUT flavours under one roof. The other place you can find the complete flavours of ABSOLUT is at the main warehouse located in Åhus, southern Sweden.

ABSOLUT Hibiskus Pom-Rose & ABSOLUT Hibiskus Ginger Lime

We were served the ABSOLUT HIBISKUS Pom-Rose and Ginger Lime at the launch event. Well, I prefer the Pom-Rose because it taste sweet. 

Five Malaysianized cocktails made from ABSOLUT Hibiskus

Oh by the way, on the bar, there is a tablet where you can vote for one of the five Malaysianised cocktails made from ABSOLUT Hibiskus. These cocktails are ABSOLUT Hibiskus Calamansi, ABSOLUT Hibiskus Ginger Lime, ABSOLUT Hibiskus Chilli, ABSOLUT Hibiskus Pom-Rose and ABSOLUT Hibiskus Tropical Passion.

At the storefront there was a giant screen displays real-time updates of customers ordering Absolut cocktails around the world through the drinkspiration app at http://www.absolutdrinks.com/en/drinkspiration

ABSOLUT Hibiskus is incredibly easy to mix - perfect for creating complex cocktails and still sensational by adding just one ingredient. The slightly acidic, berry-flavour hibiscus is underlined by the sweet notes of pomegranate – made from all natural ingredients. ABSOLUT Hibiskus makes an ideal souvenir for visitors to Malaysia.

The ABSOLUT Brand Store was conceptualised and developed by Pernod Ricard Asia Travel Retail and ABSOLUT. The launch of the store was made possible together with Malaysia Airports (Niaga) Sdn. Bhd (ERAMAN) and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).

after the launch event we head back to KL Sentral using KLIA Express / ERL
