Contents 1 History 2 Counterfeiting 3 In popular culture 4 See also 5 References History Glen 's Vodka was launched in 1972. The brand was originally known as Grant 's Vodka, but following a legal challenge was relaunched in 2003 as Glen 's Vodka. In 2009, Glen 's Vodka came first in a blind - tasting test conducted by British newspaper The Telegraph. The tasting included a variety of premium - brand vodkas including Grey Goose and Absolut. In 2015, Glen 's launched Platinum, a 40 % ABV premium grain version of Glen 's Vodka. Counterfeiting Glen 's Vodka has been among several vodka brands targeted by spirits counterfeiters. In 2008, the UK 's Food Standards Agency publicised reports of counterfeit 700ml bottles being sold. Counterfeit bottles can be easily identified : unlike authentic Glen 's Vodka bottles, they do not feature the Allied Glass Containers ( AGC ) stamp on the bottom. In 2011, UK authorities prosecuted a criminal gang responsible for counterfeiting Glen 's Vodka. Enforcement officers seized 9,000 bottles of fake vodka from an illegal bottling plant in Leicestershire. Manufacturing equipment was also seized. Members of the gang received prison sentences of up to seven years. In popular culture Glen 's Vodka was drunk and discussed on Alan Carr 's Chatty Man by Spanish heartthrob Enrique Iglesias in 2014. Iglesias was n't very complimentary towards the vodkas quality. The spirit is also the drink of choice of Eleanor Oliphant in Gail Honeyman 's novel Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, which won the 2018 Costa Debut Novel Award.
