Regularly seen throughout the series, most commonly in the hands of Saul Tigh, this whisky-colored beverage seems particularly popular among Colonial officers.

Notes

Real-World Origin

The bottles used by the property department were repurposed from the now-defunct Brilliant Spirits, who produced and bottled vodka in this style of bottle in the highlands of Scotland. The bottles also featured removable hexagonal shot glasses that sat over the neck and cap of the bottle.

"L" Logos

The symbol itself is a nod to the logo found on the "L" version of the Original Series' cubit coins.

There are two types of "L" logo used in the series. In earlier episodes, the bottle logo featured an oval and the "L" logo as negative space. In later episodes, just the 'L' was depicted. The bottles themselves used faux vinyl graphics to emulate engraving.
