PURITY® VODKA PARTNERS WITH JOEL MCHALE IN ARTISANAL BRAND’S BIGGEST CAMPAIGN TO DATE

Purity® Vodka today announced the launch of its biggest US campaign ever, “Crafted Spirits,” which features a new digital content series starring actor Joel McHale.  The campaign shines a light on the world of obsessive craftsmanship, highlighting unique and accomplished craftsmen as a way to communicate Purity’s own dedication to quality in creating its award-winning taste.

 

“Purity® Vodka called with an opportunity to hang out with the world’s most unique craftsmen and drink on the job.  So naturally I said, ‘Sign me up!’ And they replied, ‘We just did – this phone call is legally binding,” said Joel McHale.  

 

The campaign will be first seen as a comedic, documentary style digital video series starring McHale and titled “Crafted Spirits with Joel McHale.” Executive Produced by Anthony and Joe Russo (“Captain America 2: Winter Solider”) through their Bullitt banner,  it was created with Purity® Vodka to show viewers Joel McHale’s journey to discover craftsmen who do things a little differently, to create the ultimate statement of taste.  This idea parallels the brand’s own Master Craftsman and Founder, Thomas Kuuttanen, who created Purity Vodka.

 

The first video in the “Crafted Spirits” series is being released today, and is free for those 21 and older to see at PurityVodka.com.  The other two videos will be released later this year.

 

“For the “Crafted Spirits” series, I play a lightly fictionalized version of myself. For example, this ‘Joel McHale’ is slightly taller than I am, thanks to trick photography.  He also has some free time on his hands which is very different from the real me. So I hit the road to discover the finer things in life, and – here’s the best part – score some free stuff,” added McHale.

 

“’Crafted Spirits’ is a natural progression in our communication strategy for an artisanal brand like Purity” said Andy Glaser, President and CEO, Purity Vodka. “We have a unique story in how we craft our vodka and create its award-winning taste. We can share this in a big and edgy way through the comedic storytelling of Joel McHale, while remaining authentic to our brand’s story of obsessive craftsmanship.”

SAILOR JERRY LAUNCHES “LIFE OUTSIDE THE LINES” CAMPAIGN

Sailor Jerry, the iconic American clothing brand and spiced rum inspired by

tattoo legend Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins, has launched a new campaign celebrating the spirit of rebellion

through an unofficial lineage of road trips, choppers, wild times and living outside the lines.

Rather than assemble a cast through traditional talent agencies, the Sailor Jerry team reached out to people

in bars and motorcycle clubs to find people who lived the spirit espoused by the brand. “We rode out into the

California desert, stayed up all night, found empty pools to skate in and filmed it on a Super 8,” explained

Creative Director, Justin Pittney. “Then we mixed it up with images inspired by our favorite cult films, found

footage and the artwork of Norman Collins. For Sailor Jerry, these things are natural. Creativity and selfexpression

are part of the brand ethos.”

Steadily building on its year on year growth, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum increased its global volume to 931,000

cases in 2013. The brand has won numerous awards including Gold winner of The Rum Masters in 2013 &

2014 from The Spirits Business and has been recognized as one of the fastest growing spirits over the past

few years, noted for spurring the global surge in popularity of the Spiced Rum category.

W. & J. GRAHAM’S TO RELEASE SPECIAL EDITION SIX GRAPES OLD VINES PORT

It has been more than a hundred years since the famous Six Grapes motif was first used on a bottle of fine Port to denominate quality levels, Six Grapes being the highest possibleclassification, reserved for wines that were deemed to be potential candidates for bottling as Vintage Ports. Now, Winemakers at W. & J. Graham’s, Charles Symington and Henry Shotton, have decided to commemorate this by bottling a small quantity of a special wine made exclusivly from the oldest vines on Graham’s five Quintas.

 

Across the five Graham’s estates, vineyards of old mixed vines have been preserved. The youngest of these were planted in the early 1980s, but many also date from the early 1960s and 1970s, making them frequently more than 40 years old. These beautiful, gnarled old vines produce immensely low yields of fruit, which grow in small, tight bunches with intense concentration and complexity. On average, one old vine produces about a quarter of a pound of grapes and in some years the oldest vines produce even less than this.

 

Over their long life, Graham’s old vines have developed deep root systems, which reach over 20 feet into the Douro’s schist soils. As a result of the very low fruit yields, the flavors and aromas have extra profundity and concentration and the wines made from these old vines express the character of Douro’s schist soils and hot, dry summers with unique power and complexity. The whole Douro region is recognized as having some of the lowest yields of any wine region in the world and Graham’s old vines produce even less than the average. 2011 and 2012 were both outstanding harvests in the Douro, during which the oldest vineyards made particularly interesting wines. In these two years the old vines across Graham’s five estates produced an average of half a ton of grapes per acre.

 

The Six Grapes symbol originated in the 19th century as the code that W. & J. Graham used to identify the barrels containing the very best wines made at each harvest. The presentation of this Special Edition Six Grapes Old Vines Port pays homage to the original Six Grapes label that helped make the wine famous so many years ago. This wine will only be available in very limited quantities at fine retailers this Fall with a suggested retail price of $40.

Devotion Vodka’s Tiki Tea Debuts as First-Ever Gluten-Free and Sugar-Free Tea Flavored Vodka

 

With tea being the most consumed beverage in the world other than water, Tiki Tea, which consists of natural sweet tea flavors from a selection of premium teas from around the world, combined with tones of honey and citrus zests for a robust flavor profile, was a natural extension to Devotion Vodka’s line-up of flavors. In fact, Allen Flavors, maker of Arizona Iced Tea, the #1 privately owned flavor company, is Devotion Vodka’s flavoring partner, and the company was instrumental in creating the first-ever sugar-free, gluten-free, non-GMO and allergen-free tea flavored vodka in the industry. 

In partnering with Allen Flavors, Devotion uses a propriety process of eliminating sugars as a flavoring agent, while producing a superior taste profile, without compromising quality. Many mass-produced flavored vodkas available in the marketplace have been diluted by sugary flavoring agents and artificial sweeteners. In lieu of sugar, Devotion uses an essence process along with natural flavor compounds that promote a mature, light and complex flavor profile for the invigorating Tiki Tea.

“As tea is the drink of choice among so many consumers in our society, and as we seek to satisfy the palates of all adults of legal drinking age, including those with specific dietary needs, we are thrilled to introduce the first gluten-free and sugar-free tea-flavored vodka,” said Drew Adelman, CEO, Devotion Vodka. “Having an accomplished flavoring company produce Tiki Tea reinforces our commitment to the category, as we deliver quality products that taste great and are extremely versatile for all types of cocktails.”

JACK DANIEL DISTILLERY ANNOUNCES LIMITED RELEASE OF JACK DANIEL’S NO.27 GOLD TENNESSEE WHISKEY IN CHINA First Double-Barreled, Double-Mellowed Offering Available Only in Asian Markets

For the first time in its more than 140-year history, the Jack Daniel Distillery is offering a double-barreled and double-mellowed expression of its world-renowned Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey in Asia.

After first maturing in charred American white oak barrels, Jack Daniel's No. 27 Gold is then matured in maple barrels to pick up luxurious hints of rich maple before going through the mellowing process a second time. The natural amber hue, along with a scent of toasted oak and honey, offer an intricate texture and taste.

“Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold is a new refined expression of our original Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey it is additionally matured in golden-hued maple barrels and twice mellowed through our sugar maple charcoal mellowing process,” said Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. 

Arnett noted that the flavor characteristics of Jack Daniel’s Gold – subtle hints of rich, warm maple and toasted oak on entry giving way to a complex medley of fruit - creates a smooth, slightly sweet taste profile.  Arnett said the double charcoal mellowing process provides an exceedingly smooth finish that works especially well with the maple barrels. 

For the launch, Jack Daniel’s China partnered with the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art to initiate the “Inspired by Gold: Journey of Artistic Discovery.”

Four contemporary Chinese artists – China’s leading glass artist Xiaowei Zhuang, celebrated contemporary ceramic artist Qing Kang, renowned wood carving artist Baocheng Zheng and emerging ink wash painter Wenqing Ding —visited the Jack Daniel Distillery to experience the culture and witness the craftsmanship that goes into making Jack Daniel’s.  They then created works of art which will be on display at the museum for the launch. These unique pieces of art salute the “gold” craftsmanship from the perspectives of the five elements of water, fire, wood, earth and gold.  These five elements are at the very heart of traditional Chinese culture, and each embodies the craft of creating Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold Tennessee Whiskey.

·      The “water” element refers to the pure, iron-free water that is used to make every drop of Jack Daniel’s.  The Cave Spring is the sole water source and the reason that founder Jack Daniel chose the location for his distillery. 

·      The “fire” element refers to the distillery’s ultimate pursuit of craftsmanship by taking the extra measure of mellowing every drop of Jack Daniel’s through ten feet of packed sugar maple charcoal to give Jack Daniel’s its distinctive smooth taste.   

·      The “wood” refers to the new barrels in which the whiskey matures giving Jack Daniel’s its amber color and taste of toasted oak and vanilla. For Jack Daniel’s Gold, the second maturation in maple barrels gives the final product a maple fragrance with a hint of toasted oak and honey. 

·      The “earth” in the five elements refers to the place of origin – the Jack Daniel Distillery – where every drop has been produced since Jack Daniel registered his distillery in 1866, making it the oldest registered distillery in the United States.  

·      And “gold” refers to the distillery’s newest offering – Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold Tennessee Whiskey, crafted by following the distillery’s golden rule of “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.” 

COLORADO'S SUTCLIFFE VINEYARDS' SYRAH AWARDED 90-POINT RATING BY WINE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINE

Colorado's  Sutcliffe Vineyards' Syrah has received a score of 90 out of 100 in the upcoming July issue of the influential Wine Enthusiast magazine. The Syrah rating becomes the latest in a string of strong reviews for the rising Colorado vineyard, whose recent nationally acclaimed vintages include a 90-point 2010 Merlot.

Crafted by owner John Sutcliffe and winemaker Joe Buckel - formerly at Flowers Vineyard & Winery in Sonoma County - Sutcliffe Vineyards' Syrah was produced using grapes grown locally in McElmo Canyon and Canyon of the Ancients Vineyards. These locally grown grapes not only add to the character of the Syrah, they also provide a unique regional offering to oenophiles looking for a "vine-to-glass" wine experience.

 "From tiers of black cherry and ripe plums to dark chocolate and a soft cinnamon finish, our Syrah has all the weight and depth one should expect from this wonderful grape," says Buckel.  "Tempered by an elegant structure and a charming, surprising brightness, we can now say our latest Syrah vintage stands with the best in the country."

Slowly capturing a piece of the spotlight from the craft beer scene, Sutcliffe Vineyards - along with its sister properties, Dunton Hot Springs and Dunton River Camp - offer unique wine experiences for locals and travelers to explore. Additionally, Sutcliffe wines are also poured in select tasting rooms and restaurants across the country.

Beaulieu Vineyard® Coastal Estates® Wine Reinvents Itself, Emphasizes Quality and New Packaging Coastal Estates winemaker pursues new direction focused on craftsmanship

Beaulieu Vineyard® wine (www.bvwines.com), one of Napa Valley’s longest continuously-running wineries, has a new story to tell about its BV Coastal Estates® wine tier ($11 SRP).

BV Coastal Estates®’ winemaker Jason Dodge has worked consistently to make fresher whites and richer reds that represent California’s premium quality Dodge has been aiming for. Starting in June, BV Coastal Estates also introduces a new look that represents the increased quality of the wine and BV’s rich heritage.

“Quality is our number one goal for these wines, and we get there by carefully controlling everything from grape to glass,” said Jason Dodge, winemaker for BV Coastal Estates®. “For the past five-plus years, we’ve been on a journey to completely re-think how we make wine and craft the best wine possible. Our 2012 vintage presents the culmination of these efforts. The wines truly speak for themselves.”

Dodge, who has challenged the norms since joining the winery in 2008, has a keen focus on making BV Coastal Estates® the top wine in its price point. To do this, Dodge has scrutinized every detail of the winemaking process, from grape-growing to production to aging.

In the vineyards, Dodge has increased the quality of vineyard sourcing by helping to develop and strengthen key grower relationships. Specifically for its red wines, more emphasis is placed on sourcing from BV’s Central Coast estate vineyards. Dodge credits his hands-on approach to grape growing as the catalyst for the improvement in quality.

Using technology and refined winemaking techniques also are driving the wine quality upward. Dodge has experimented with and continues to explore techniques that allow him to replicate processes that are reserved for boutique wineries producing wines at higher price points.

For instance, for his white wines Dodge uses a gentler press regime akin to what’s used for Champagne. He has also instituted cutting edge winemaking technology that precisely controls fermentation parameters, which allows him to drive winemaking style. Even the oak that Dodge uses during the aging process—premium American and French oak—is higher in quality. The end result is a cleaner, softer and more balanced wine that is unique to BV, beats the competition and over delivers on quality.

Quality is no stranger to BV. For more than 100 years, BV has crafted California wines that stand among the world’s finest. Founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour, the winery is a defining fixture in Napa Valley. In 1938, Latour brought Russian émigré André Tchelistcheff to Napa, who went on to change the course of winemaking in the valley and beyond, instituting the philosophy of continuous innovation in vineyard and winery to which BV remains dedicated.

“At BV, we set our standards high and have a vision to replicate boutique winemaking at any scale and at any tier” Dodge said. “I’m hoping to emulate André by elevating the standards of winemaking and pursuing a path of continued experimentation and innovation that results in high-quality wines.”

BV Coastal Estates® also introduced a new package to accompany the increased quality of wine and the hand-crafted touch Jason has introduced. The bold and sophisticated label is fresh and modern, yet projects a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.

Improvements take into account everything down to the detail including the texture of the paper and a more simple, clean design with strategic use of white space for a more modern feel. All together, the improvements suggest a confident, rich and strong personality for BV Coastal Estates®.

“BV brings more than a century of experience to every bottle of our BV Coastal Estates® wine,” Dodge continued. “Our ongoing dedication to crafting the purest expression of varietals sets the standard for quality in California. This new package reflects that commitment.”
