New York, NY (PRWEB) February 14, 2014 -- Independent Australian spirits company, Artisan Spirit Merchants LLC, announced the U.S. launch of VDKA 6100 (pronounced Vodka 6100), a remarkably pure and smooth premium vodka with a global sensibility. VDKA 6100 will premiere today in three states, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.

"I’m very proud to be associated with the creative team behind the launch of VDKA 6100. It will be personally rewarding to be a part of its growth,” said Robert De Niro.

VDKA 6100 brings together the world’s best artisans, and sources the finest raw materials for an unparalleled luxury drinking experience. Inspired by the Australian country code, VDKA 6100 name pays homage to its Australian roots, leading New York designer, Joe Doucet, created the bottle to highlight the quality and purity of what’s inside. The distinguished bottle is handcrafted from the world’s best glass manufacturer in France, Saverglass, and topped off with a silver lid and cork from Italy. But it’s the unique raw ingredients of the vodka that sets VDKA 6100 apart, distilled from fresh seasonal whey and natural spring water from New Zealand, one of the most pristine places in the world. The whey is sourced from grass-fed cows’ milk, which is 3x distilled and filtered through a bed of carbon, producing a silky, ultra-smooth liquid.

“Greatness is born of collaboration; we tapped the best craftsmen from around the world to give life to VDKA 6100, the world’s first global vodka. We distill our vodka in New Zealand from whey and the result is a cleaner, purer vodka which is gluten free, sugar free, and lactose free,” said CEO Tim Szonyi.

The theme of collaboration doesn’t end there; key players behind the Brand include Australian casino mogul James Packer and world-renowned actor and businessman Robert De Niro. De Niro, a global tastemaker and visionary in the hospitality industry, is a co-creator of VDKA 6100. He has been intimately involved in launching the brand in the U.S. and eventually worldwide.

"I’m very proud to be associated with the creative team behind the launch of VDKA 6100. It will be personally rewarding to be a part of its growth,” said Robert De Niro.

The product taste is light as a cloud. It is best enjoyed in its purest form on the rocks, and its smoothness makes it the perfect choice for mixed cocktails. The advertising campaign, inspired by the taste of the vodka, depicts the cloud covered dawn of a new day and heralds the tagline “It’s Already Tomorrow”, an optimistic and Australian sensibility that invites consumers to celebrate the possibilities that tomorrow holds and to seize the day.

VDKA 6100 will officially launch in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut on February 14th, 2014 and will be distributed by Opici Family Distributing Co. in all three states. VKDA 6100 will be available in two sizes, 750ml, retailing for $34.99, and a 1-liter bottle for $44.99.
