Market Introduction:

The craft vodka can be best described as a range of vodka produced in small and independent distillery establishments. Traditionally, vodka originated from Eurasia especially Russia and Poland and was made out of grains or potatoes. A paradigm shift to craft vodka came into the latter part of the 20th century and the earlier part of the 21st century primarily in response to growing market trends that focused on locally distilled, artisan products. Vodka manufacturing includes several steps like fermentation, distillation, filtration and dilution with other ingredients followed by bottling. The producers often experiment with locally obtained, organic ingredients and use craft distillation processes. This gives rise to a spirit with unique characteristics that may influence the ultimate taste of the final product. Craft vodka brands also market themselves as having a more specific and tailored product with better design and distinctive branding. Some of the craft vodka brands that are known to exist are Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Hangar One, Reyka, Chase, and Belvedere vodka.
