Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey Takes a Colorful Approach to Flavored Whiskey

BARDSTOWN, Ky. – Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey is a flavored whiskey with both a wild and sweet side. Offering an alternative to masculine dominated flavored whiskeys, Raven’s Lace is a one-of-a-kind whiskey with a vibrant attitude and feminine touch with the juxtaposition of a darker side. 

Available in June, Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey infuses juicy peach and sweet strawberry flavors with the smoothness of Bourbon whiskey at an approachable 60 proof. Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey primarily appeals to the growing segment of female consumers for whom traditional whiskey is not necessarily their drink of choice but are interested in the sweet taste of flavored whiskeys. By all accounts, flavored whiskey is growing tremendously and makes up 12% of whiskey sales according to the Wall Street Journal. And women are playing an increasingly important role in the whiskey category with about 40% of flavored whiskey consumed by females.

“We see tremendous opportunity for consumer diversification in flavored whiskey,” said Hannah Venhoff, Brand Manager for Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey. “Many of the flavored whiskeys on the market take a macho and assertive approach. Raven’s Lace features a trend-setting flavor profile targeting females looking for a sweet flavored whiskey with a bold color and package that is made for them.” 

Raven’s Lace PeachBerry whiskey packaging features an intricate feminine lace design coupled with the Raven’s mysterious side incorporated in a unique label which dramatically contrasts the vibrant peach whiskey in the bottle.

The limited market launch will include retail and on-premise point-of-sale including a unique travel trunk floor display. In addition, Raven’s Lace will benefit from a robust digital media program which engages consumers on social channels and through digital advertising with the “Whiskey Your Way” marketing campaign focused on young females that enjoy bold whiskey with a sweeter side. 

Available at $14.99, Raven’s Lace PeachBerry Whiskey will be available in 50ml and 750ml sizes. The initial launch markets include Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee.

FOR RELEASE: For Immediate Release

IMAGES: See Directions at End of Release

BARDSTOWN, KY—Heaven Hill Brands, the country’s largest independent, family-owned and operated spirits producer, is adding to its portfolio of Evan Williams Flavors with the release of Evan Williams Peach this spring. True to its tagline, “No Fuzz. All Flavor.” Evan Williams Peach combines the smoothness of Evan Williams Bourbon with a fresh peach taste. Bottled at 70 proof, it can be served as a chilled shot, on the rocks or mixed in a cocktail.     

Flavored Whiskeys continue to be one of the hottest segments of the spirits industry, with sales currently up 20 percent, according to Nielsen ratings, and Evan Williams Flavors, led by Evan Williams Honey, are growing at a rapid, double-digit rate. With peach emerging as one of the hottest flavors in 2014 across the spirits industry, Evan Williams Peach is right on target to maximize this market trend by blending this hot flavor with Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Evan Williams Peach will be initially available starting May 1 to the following markets: Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, North, Carolina, Georgia, Upstate New York, Ohio, Arkansas and California.

This new flavor is packaged in the highly-recognizable square Evan Williams bottle, with a contemporary, see-through label featuring a stylized peach, and the logo for Evan Williams, the second largest selling brand of Bourbon in the U.S. and the world. 

Evan Williams Peach will be supported by an array of retail display materials allowing stores to prominently display the product and capture consumer attention. As an added incentive for trial, the 750ml size will also feature a $7 mail-in rebate, where legal.

“Given the growth of the Evan Williams brand and the continued success of our flavor line, we fully anticipate Evan Williams Peach to play a key role in continuing to expand our presence within the flavored whiskey category,” said Chris Ratterman, Evan Williams Brand Manager. “The blend of fresh peach with Evan Williams Bourbon capitalizes on market trends, and has already generated much excitement among the trade and consumers in our lead markets.”

Admiral Nelson’s Rum Turns A Blind Eye to the Ordinary With Black Patch

BARDSTOWN, Ky. – Introducing the darker side of Admiral Nelson’s Rum. Coming this June, Admiral Nelson’s Black Patch Premium Black Spiced Rum will build on the successful Admiral Nelson’s Rum franchise as a Black Spiced Rum that is carefully filtered through Bourbon Barrel Charred Oak.

Admiral Nelson’s Black Patch Premium Black Spiced Rum uses a unique filtering process which enriches the flavor by filtering it through charred American White Oak used in the Bourbon aging process. The deep, dark Black Patch is a more robust and mysterious style of Admiral Nelson’s Spiced Rum. 

“The emergence of Spiced Black Rum is a tremendous opportunity for Rum consumers,” said Hannah Venhoff, Admiral Nelson’s Rum Brand Manager. “Admiral Nelson’s Black Patch is a natural extension of the franchise as Rum consumers seek out more dynamic, bolder styles.”

Bottled at 94 proof, Admiral Nelson’s Black Patch Rum features a sophisticated cream, black and silver label and closure reflective of its bold style on the popular Admiral Nelson’s glass bottle with blue accents reflecting some of the brand’s key equities. The new Black Spiced Rum will be supported by an array of retail point of sale items with the “Admirably Smooth. Mysteriously Dark.” brand message. 

Admiral Nelson’s Black Patch Rum will be available beginning in June at $10.99/750ml in 50ml, 750ml 1.75L sizes.

Acquired by Heaven Hill in 2011, Admiral Nelson’s Spiced Rum continues to be one of the best-selling spiced rums in the spirits industry. The brand is the second-largest brand in the spiced rum segment. Since 2007, it has been a consistent winner of growth awards from leading trade publications, including Market Watch and Beverage Information Group.

The Admiral Nelson family of rums is also comprised of the flagship Admiral Nelson Spiced, 101 Proof Spiced, Cherry Spiced, Coconut, Vanilla, Dark, Silver and Gold varieties. The franchise is available in 1.75L, 1L, 750ml, 750ml Carry Pack, 375ml, 200ml and 50ml sizes and bottled between 35-50.5 percent alcohol by volume (70-101 proof).

These well-known, highly mixable combination flavors marry the best of each flavor, creating sweet, fruity blends right on target with consumer tastes. Traditional fruit flavors continue to be a strong segment of the Flavored Vodka category in which Burnett’s has proven to be a leader over the last 10 years.

Both Apple Berry and Cherry Limeade will be available in four sizes: 50ml, 750ml, 1.0L and 1.75L. “New Flavor” hang tags will hang from the bottles of 750ml and 1.75L sizes for the first few months of shipping. The launch of the new flavors is supported by floor displays, a range of point of sale items, shelf facings, as well as sales education materials. The Burnett’s website (www.burnettsvodka.com) and the Burnett’s ‘More Recipes, More Fun’ Mobile App (available on Apple and Android devices) provide information and drink recipes for all flavors.

The product is available for a suggested retail price of $10.99 for the 750ml and is bottled at 30-35% alcohol by volume (60-70 proof).   

Burnett’s Vodka is one of the top-selling vodkas in the nation and the 12th largest selling distilled spirits brand in the US. Since 2000, Burnett’s Vodka has consistently won Beverage Information Group’s “Growth Brand” and Impact’s “Hot Brand” awards as one of the fastest growing products in the industry. The entire line includes the 80 proof Vodka, an array of Flavored Vodkas, Gin, Rums, and 100 proof varieties.

Heaven Hill Unveils New Corporate Name, Logo Ahead of Company’s 80th Anniversary Title

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heaven Hill Unveils New Corporate Name, Logo Ahead of Company’s 80th Anniversary

BARDSTOWN, KY. – On the eve of its 80th year, the country’s largest family owned and operated distilled spirits company unveils a new corporate name, Heaven Hill Brands, and a new logo that capture the company’s evolution from a leader in American Whiskey production – a position it continues to hold today – to the nation’s sixth-largest distilled spirits supplier.

“Although some people may still think of us primarily as a Bourbon distiller, in reality, we are tremendously diverse, with brands in virtually every distilled spirits category,” said Heaven Hill Brands President Max L. Shapira. “Our new name and logo illustrate that broader identity and will properly position us for the next 80 years.”

Over the last three decades through internal product development and strategic brand acquisitions Heaven Hill has built on its foundation of American Whiskeys to become a broadly diversified supplier of whiskeys, liqueurs, vodkas, rums and other spirits. Heaven Hill’s portfolio includes the world’s second-largest selling Bourbon, Evan Williams Bourbon, and category leaders Christian Brothers Brandy, Burnett’s Vodka and Admiral Nelson’s Rum. The portfolio also includes a growing line of leading imported brands from around the world, such as Hpnotiq and Domaine de Canton liqueurs.  Likewise, the company has a stable of innovative brands including PAMA Liqueur, Blackheart Spiced Rum and Evan Williams Flavors.

Brands are identified and developed to take advantage of the many, varied consumer tastes and are sold domestically and worldwide in more than 40 countries through innovative and aggressive marketing and sales initiatives.

While the new name reflects the company’s more diversified direction, it retains ‘Heaven Hill’ at its core, in reference to the company’s original American Whiskey distillery and longstanding history. The company is headquartered in Bardstown, Ky., on land once owned by William Heavenhill in the 18th century. The new logo features an elegant, timeless silhouette of a bottle and rocks glass rendered in the company’s signature blue palette.

The new name and logo announcement kick off what will be a year-long celebration of the company’s 80th anniversary. Founded in 1935 by the five Shapira brothers to produce and market Bourbon and premium American Whiskeys, the company expects to soon fill its seven millionth whiskey barrel and is run today by the second and third generations of the Shapira family. Together, they’re proudly leading the country’s largest family owned and operated distilled spirits company into a new era.
