In a major milestone in its mission to expand distribution of RWB Ultra-Premium Handcrafted Vodka internationally, the Aristocrat Group Corp. has announced that its joint venture partner, Westcoast Spirits Company, Ltd., is working to fulfill the first RWB Vodka retail order from outside the US.
The order comes from a hospitality group in Vancouver, British Columbia -- a top vodka market targeted by ASCC for distribution for months. The company began its partnership with Westcoast Spirits Company in late 2013 to capitalize on market growth in a nation where vodka is the most popular distilled spirit category. After a lengthy approval process to import and distribute RWB Vodka in Canada, ASCC's diligence is now beginning to pay off.
"This is the first of what we expect will be many orders from throughout British Columbia and the rest of Canada in the weeks and months to come," said ASCC CEO Robert Federowicz. "Canada is a very strong market for quality, handcrafted vodkas, and we have made every effort to expand our distribution there. This initial order is a big step forward toward accomplishing our goals for international growth."
Having received 19 tasting awards over the past two years, the GMO-free RWB Ultra-Premium Handcrafted Vodka is among the most highly decorated American vodkas in the distilled spirits marketplace. ASCC is in the midst of a major expansion behind the continued success of RWB as well as the impending debut of Big Box Vodka, an ultra-premium bag-in-box distilled spirit. Earlier this month, ASCC announced that it expanded its distribution network to include the state of Louisiana.
