Upstate Vodka Announces Tennessee Crown as New Distribution Partner in Tennessee

Upstate Vodka, a craft vodka made entirely from New York State apples, has announced a significant partnership with Tennessee Crown. This partnership will see Upstate Vodka distributed in the Nashville and Chattanooga markets. Tennessee Crown, a subsidiary owned by Georgia-based distributor Georgia Crown Distributing, is one of Tennessee's top distributors of fine wines and spirits.

Upstate Vodka has significantly expanded its market presence in recent years and is now widely available in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, Illinois, and Florida. Furthermore, it has made a substantial impact on the on-premise market, being featured in renowned New York City restaurants such as Nobu Downtown, Saint Ambroeus, Surf Lodge, Buddakan, Buddha-Bar, Serafina, and Scarpetta, among others. This unique vodka also has a wide presence in the Hamptons, further solidifying its reputation. The alliance with Tennessee Crown is expected to expand Upstate Vodka’s reach, bringing its high-quality, apple-based vodka to more consumers in the Nashville and Chattanooga areas. About Upstate Vodka

Launched in the summer of 2018, Upstate Vodka is produced at its distillery, Sauvage Distillery. It is handcrafted using locally sourced apples through a meticulous, time- and labor-intensive process. Each bottle contains approximately 70-80 apples, resulting in a clean, smooth, pure vodka with a soft finish and subtle hints of apple on the nose and palate. The production of Upstate Vodka, overseen by artisan distillers Ken Wortz and Jamie Terk, draws inspiration from the craft of whiskey distilling. The bottle design, created by renowned label design firm Stranger & Stranger, reflects the vodka’s artisanal quality. Upstate Vodka is certified Gluten-free and has earned numerous medals at some of America's most respected spirits competitions.
