Quay Vodka Sails Into America
Posted in: UncategorizedVodka is a drink that most people love to consume and while we have our own line of brands that are pretty much popular locally, the taste of French Vodka is something rare for most. American vodka connoisseurs will soon be able to enjoy a French-made vodka that evokes the simple elegance of the Mediterranean region of Europe: southern France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. Bravado Imports is introducing Quay Vodka (http://www.quayvodka.com), an ultra-premium, artisan-crafted Mediterranean spirit, to select U.S. markets.
Quay Vodka is the culmination of Sheckart’s five-year search for the best European ingredients and blending techniques. The classification “artisan crafted” denotes the meticulous, hands-on approach taken in its creation. “Quay Vodka is made by a master distiller and in smaller quantities than most vodkas,” explained Sheckart. “The resulting attention to detail makes for a finer spirit, and Quay has all the qualities you look for in a fine spirit: ultra smoothness, complexity, that round-the-mouth feel and a flawless finish.”
