Portland Potato Vodka Reaches First 1,000 Case Month
PORTLAND, Ore Eastside Distilling, Inc., a producer of award-winning craft spirits, today announced that its award-winning Portland Potato Vodka surpassed 1,000 cases sold for the month of October. This important milestone is an all-time record for the Northwest’s premium potato vodka. Portland Potato Vodka is currently available in 750 ml, 1.75 liter and 50ml sizes. A 375ml bottle is slated for November release.
Portland Potato Vodka has a clean, crisp taste that mixes especially well in Oregon’s favorite cocktails and can be enjoyed straight-up on the rocks. The key to producing a vodka this smooth is to start with the right ingredients. Most vodka is made from grain, because it is as much as two thirds less expensive than potatoes. Potatoes, on the other hand, are the original source of Vodka and worth the extra expense. Portland Potato Vodka, the leading locally produced Vodka, also has the pristine water of Mt. Hood. Potatoes make for a vodka that is low-octane and exceptionally clean. If you’re looking for a tasty gluten free alternative to grain-based spirits, you’ve found your drink of choice.
"Portland Potato Vodka is silky through and through. It opens with refreshing mineral water and gentle ethyl notes. You can finally say goodbye to the 'burn' that you feel from corn and wheat vodkas. Absolutely no burning sensation with a sweep of cotton candy sweetness," commented Mel Heim, Eastside’s Master Distiller.
Portland Potato Vodka recently received a Gold Medal rating by Blue Lifestyle Seal of Approval (92 points), and a Gold Medal and Best of Category at the 2017 Los Angeles International Spirits Competition (91 points). The new Hot Potato version of Portland Potato is a habanero infused variation and is produced in collaboration with the Secret Aardvark hot sauce company.
Grover Wickersham, CEO of Eastside Distilling, commented, “Our Portland Potato Vodka continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by our sales more than tripling from last year to our first ever 1,000 case shipment month in October. I thank our loyal customers and I encourage them to share our great Vodka with their friends and family over the holidays and to ask their local bartenders to start carrying us as a superior local alternative to Texan and Russian Vodkas.”

Whiskey Prison Releases First Bourbon: Conviction
"The hard time aging in oak barrels behind bars here at Whiskey Prison has created a cask strength bourbon that's subtly sweet and smooth," said Southern Grace Distilleries CEO Leanne Powell.
Reviews seem to agree. As John Trump wrote for Liquor.com, "It's remarkably smooth and complex. The nose reveals ripe cherries and a comforting hint of cinnamon, bringing to mind warm apples covered in brown sugar. A sip offers hints of honey and just a touch of oak. The barley brings a soft sweetness, much like an Irish whisky, especially after adding a drop of water. Soft vanilla and bright orange linger on the palate."
Conviction Small Batch Bourbon enters the world bourbon market having already received high praise for its taste. Earlier this week the spirit won a Gold Medal at the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards.
Southern Grace Distilleries makes a charitable contribution for every bottle they sell, and the charitable partner for Conviction is the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, the oldest and largest sustainable agriculture organization in the Southeast. "Without corn you can't have bourbon. When you enjoy bourbon, thank a farmer. I'm so glad we can help support the efforts of the Carolina Farm Stewardship and their project at the Lomax Incubator Farm which is right down the road from our distillery," said Powell.
Southern Grace Distilleries, known as Whiskey Prison, was founded in 2014 and is located in a former North Carolinastate prison in Cabarrus County, NC, located about 25 minutes northeast of Charlotte. Conviction is now available in North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, DC, and available online via cellar.com.

Hennessy Presents Le Grand Voyage: A Voyage of Vision and Imagination
NEW YORK, NY Hennessy, the world's best-selling Cognac, today launches a new consumer experience that brings to life its unique savoir-faire and Cognac-making process – a nod to the thriving category and its unprecedented growth. Making its U.S. debut at Industry City in New York, "Le Grand Voyage" is a journey into the rich and distinct world of Hennessy that uses multi-sensory elements to showcase the nature, people and know-how of a dynasty spanning 250+ years and a process perfected by tradition.
Mastering the myriad of differing tastes and aromas to consistently create the most luxurious Cognacs in the world is not a simple task, it takes generations of expertise and knowledge. Enter Hennessy's Comité de Dégustation (Tasting Committee): a collective brought together to decide the fate and map the life journey of every single eau-de-vie that will eventually be used in creating a Hennessy masterpiece.
"Le Grand Voyage" gives vigor to their mastery by evoking the vital role of nature, science, and human touch at every stage of production: experiential elements will depict unpredictable weather and terrain conditions faced by winemakers through simulated rainfall, double distillation can be discovered in a copper room inspired by the traditional Charentais pot still, infinite rows of French Limousin oak visualize nuances of maturation, and more. Private events in Brooklyn's Sunset Park will transport guests through place and time to demonstrate what it takes to masterfully craft exceptional blends from a synthesis of complex variables.
Part of Hennessy's broader education platform, "Le Grand Voyage" promotes the brand's craft credentials, flavor complexity, and link to American cocktail culture, as the original base spirit used in many classic cocktails like the Sidecar and Sazerac. All activity, including a series of VIP Cognac and Cocktail events, invites guests to experience the unmatched harmony and balance of V.S.O.P Privil̬ge and the multisensory taste odyssey of Hennessy X.O, the original X.O Cognac. Intimate master classes in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles - led by a team of mixologists & brand ambassadors Рhave supported efforts to encourage Cognac trial and reinforce Hennessy as a preferred brand among spirit connoisseurs.
Hennessy's "Le Grand Voyage" is offering private events to guests from November 8th through November 14th.

Today, these qualities are the hallmark of a House – a crown jewel in the LVMH Group – that crafts iconic and prestigious Cognacs.
Patrón Tequila Perfects Holiday Gift Giving with Patrón Silver One-Liter Limited Edition Bottle
ATOTONILCO EL ALTO, Jalisco, Mexico, Nov. 1, 2017 -- Patrón Tequila is once again perfecting the season of gift giving and holiday entertaining with the introduction of this year's Patrón Silver One-Liter Limited Edition bottle. This third in a series of collectible large-size bottle designs for the holidays is inspired by Mexico's tradition of vibrant ceramic and textile folk art.
The brightly colored pewter bottle label on this year's special edition release features Patrón's iconic bee design and depicts elements of Patrón's meticulous production process, including renderings of the native Weber Blue Agave from which Patrón is created, the razor sharp ax used to chop the harvested agave, and the traditional "tahona" stone which crushes the cooked agave to begin the fermentation and distillation process. The bottle is topped with an intricately designed metallic stopper, mirroring the detailed aesthetic of the label, and is packaged in a beautiful green gift bag, reminiscent of Patrón Silver's signature box.
Inside this limited production bottle, every drop of ultra-premium Patrón Silver tequila is handcrafted in small batches from the highest quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave, and distilled and bottled at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
"Patrón is always one of the most-gifted spirits during the holidays and our limited-edition large size bottle has become something that people look forward to every year, both as a gift for someone special, and for holiday entertaining," said Lee Applbaum, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Patrón Spirits. "The distinctive label design of this year's bottle - influenced by our rich Mexican tradition of crafting artisanal tequila - offers a truly unique gifting option for those who enjoy and appreciate high-quality, luxury spirits."
From gifting, to mixing-and-matching simply perfect cocktails this season, Patrón has the holidays covered. The Patrón Cocktail Lab, a library of hundreds of versatile cocktail recipes developed by Patrón's mixology team in collaboration with talented bartenders around the world, uses an interactive interface to tailor recommendations to each visitor to the site. This fall and holiday season, hosts searching for their holiday go-to cocktail can find anything to match their tastes, from the herbaceous "Daylight Saver" (made with Patrón Silver tequila, Patrón Citrónge Orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, fresh lime, and a touch of absinthe) to the tart and refreshing Cranberry Cooler (combining Patrón Silver tequila, Patrón Citrónge Lime liqueur, cranberry juice, and club soda).
The Patrón Silver One-Liter Limited Edition bottle is available at fine spirits and liquor retailers across the country for the suggested retail price of $59.99. For more information, please visit www.patrontequila.com.
About Patrón Tequila
From hand-harvesting the highest-quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave, to the traditional, time-honored distillation process and individual labeling, numbering, and inspection of each bottle, Patrón tequila is crafted with meticulous precision and care. Though Patrón has grown to become one of the most-recognized and respected luxury spirits brands in the world, it is still exclusively produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, in the same small batches and with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
