Spring44 Spirits To Launch In Florida

Spring44 Distilling, an early leader in the American craft distillery movement, announced expansion into Florida, introducing Spring44 Vodka, Spring44 Honey Vodka and Spring44 Gin. Spring44 is a gold-medal, American craft alternative to imported super-premium spirits.

Spring44 Vodka, Spring44 Honey Vodka and Spring44 Gin are uniquely made with Colorado Rocky Mountain artesian spring water. It's some of the rarest water in the world. No municipal water touches Spring44 Spirits, creating a uniquely smooth product. Using some of the finest water on earth as its base ingredient, Spring44 Spirits maintain the highest level of quality by 5X distilling from American grown wheat, corn and rye; and a virgin coconut husk carbon filtration process. The gin is made with a proprietary blend of botanicals, including nutmeg, coriander and agave. Spring44 is perfect by nature. Spring44 was introduced in 2011 and is sold in Colorado, New York, New Jersey and parts of Utah.

"We believe that American craft distilled spirits will follow a similar path of success to other categories such as beer, coffee and soda. In the last six months, Spring44 Vodka, Honey Vodka and Gin have been extremely well-received by our distributors, key accounts, and leading cocktail experts. Most importantly, consumers in our initial launch States have demonstrated that they want more interesting, high quality brands and the fact that Spring44 is American-made has truly resonated with our loyal audience." said Jeff Lindauer, CEO of Spring44 Distilling. "We are very excited about introducing Spring44 made with some of the rarest water in the world to both trade and consumers in this new market. It is time for domestic brands to gain some of the 97% market share currently held by imported brands and for a great American brand to lead this category."

Since Spring44 Spirit's inception, renowned mixologists and bartenders have been lending their creativity and talents to the 2011 MicroLiquor Triple Gold Award Winner's roster of signature cocktails including:
