Notable for the cyclone molded into its back panel, the bottle “defies the laws of physics,” says Yousef Zaatar, vice president of product manufacturing and development at Bacardi Bottling Corp., Jacksonville, FL.

Most defiant from a laws-of-physics standpoint is the center of the cyclone, which is more than 1/8” deep. Making such a container requires the most fastidious attention to all blow-and-blow glass-making parameters, says Zaatar. Saint-Gobain is the maker of the award-winning container.
