“Atlanta is one of the largest vodka markets and has a growing mixology culture,” says Jim Amstutz, national sales manager, Global Spirits USA. “Khortytsa Vodka clearly integrates into the premium vodka genre, while LEAF’s packaging, price point and organic origins resonates with today’s consumer lifestyles.”
Ukraine’s famed Khortytsa (KHOR) Distillery is located near Khortytsa Island. This ancient island’s history dates back thousands of years and reaches the roots of civilization. It is considered a sacred place in Ukraine and is one of the country’s seven wonders.
Built in 2003, the Khortytsa Distillery is among the world’s finest distilleries. It uses a local organic filter containing schungite (a unique natural mineral) which allows it to get as close as possible to the structure of natural water. The filtration process is further enhanced with special birch and alder-tree charcoal and quartz sand sourced near the famous Ural Mountains.
Taste of Atlanta will feature Khortytsa Platinum, which is the most popular item in the line, retailing for $14.99per 750 ml.
LEAF Vodka will also be featured. LEAF believes vodka’s main ingredient, water, is what truly defines the spirit. LEAF Vodka is sourced from unique waters around the country. One variety is made from Alaskan Glacial water, which lends a pure, smooth taste with a hint of sweetness. The other, made from Rocky Mountain mineral water, provides richness and complexity, offering a warm and savory impression. The water sources give LEAF Vodkas their signature tastes.
The packaging for LEAF Vodka is designed with the intention to have the contour of a leaf, accentuating the brand and giving it a premium look. With a recommended shelf price of $15.99 for 750mL — and Certified USDA Organic — LEAF Vodka is well positioned within the dynamic and growing vodka category.
