Black Cow Vodka to Visit Tales of the Cocktail

From happily pastured cows in bucolic Dorset, England, Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka continues its U.S. launch with its first appearance at Tales Of the Cocktail, where co-founder Paul Archard will participate as part of the panel at the seminar “Vodka is Dead, Long Live Vodka” with Claire Warner  of Belvedere, Joe McCanta of Grey Goose and Jared Brown of Sipsmith.

Black Cow is a 100% pure milk vodka, produced in Dorset from the milk of grass-fed cows. It is a super-premium vodka, distilled from milk and treated to a secret blending process created by dairy farmer Jason Barber, whose inspiration came from a desire to diversify the product of his 250-head dairy herd and his personal interest in vodka. Black Cow was launched by Jason and Paul in 2012.

Black Cow entered the U.S. market in mid June in California in partnership with Wine Warehouse, the state’s third largest distributor. In April, Black Cow exhibited at the 73rd Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America convention in Las Vegas, considered the most important annual event where distributors seek out new beverage products, meet with existing partners and look for services to enhance internal operations.

Black Cow will be launching in six other markets in 2016 including Hong Kong, Denmark, Spain & Australia.

“At Black Cow we are excited to be playing our part in the reinvigoration of the vodka category and working to bring our brand to the U.S.,” Paul says.

Black Cow has won several awards including a Gold Medal from the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It has a clean, smooth taste perfect for sipping chilled or mixing in cocktails such as the Dirty Cow Martini or the Dorset Donkey. Black Cow Vintage Cheddar, made from the curds of the milk used to make Black Cow Vodka, is available in the U.K. Black Cow Vodka: SRP $39.99 for 750ml. 80 proof
