| | | The bottles used by the property department were repurposed from the brand [https://www.internetwines.com/rws18983.html Brilliant Vodka], an ultra-premium vodka made from 100% grain neutral spirits that are produced and bottled in the highlands of Scotland. |
| === 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.<ref>{{Cite web|archivedate=04 June 2000|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000604133041/http://www.brilliant-spirit.com/brilliant.html#:~:text=Vodka%20%22Brilliant%22%20in%20hexagonal%20transparent%20bottles%2C%20with%20a%20detachable%20glass%20on%20the%20top%20of%20the%20bottle%20and%20with%20various%20decorations%2C%20700/750%20ml%20vol.%2C%2037%2C5/40%25%20alc.|title=Russian Recipe Vodka "Brilliant"|accessdate=18 December 2025|archive=y|url=http://www.brilliant-spirit.com/brilliant.html#:~:text=Vodka%20%22Brilliant%22%20in%20hexagonal%20transparent%20bottles%2C%20with%20a%20detachable%20glass%20on%20the%20top%20of%20the%20bottle%20and%20with%20various%20decorations%2C%20700/750%20ml%20vol.%2C%2037%2C5/40%25%20alc.}}</ref> | |

| === "L" Logos ===
| |
| The symbol itself is a nod to the logo found on the "L" version of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]]' [[Cubit|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.
