Clever, but I would have liked it more if the logo/name were 'misaligned' with the bottle, instead of remaining in a straight line.

Still, incredibly iconic and simple at the same time, which will ensure it stands out in people's minds, and makes it easy to find at the bar. I find a lot of alcohols come in distinctive bottles so that people at the bar 5 feet from the liquors can still tell the bartender what they want without having to read labels. Those that have a less distinctive bottle shape either have some obvious color choice (especially for clear alcohols), label design, or are mixers that no one cares about anyhow.

Absolut went through a multi-year campaign to establish the identity of their otherwise unnoticeable bottle. Samurai has saved millions in advertising by dint of the instantly recognizable bottle.
