Posted on May 18th, 2007

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 18, 2007) – Known for bringing new and innovative super premium vodka flavors to consumers, Van Gogh® Vodka is capturing the taste of the tropics with its newest choice – Banana.

Van Gogh Vodka Adds Banana Vodka

Distilled in Holland, Van Gogh’s new Banana infuses the flavor of a ripe banana with the vodka producing a quality spirit that offers new martini possibilities. The natural sweetness of the fruit makes it an ideal after dinner drink.

“There are not a lot of banana flavored alcohols on the market today,” explained David van de Velde, president of Luctor International, the makers of Van Gogh Vodka. “The addition of the banana makes for a smooth taste that opens up new possibilities and new martini options. It’s very different.”

Consumers will find Van Gogh’s Banana Vodka on shelves early this summer, in time for afternoon picnics and evening dinners under the stars. The 70-proof vodka retails for about $25 per 750-ml bottle.

Van Gogh also recently introduced another new flavor – Acai-Blueberry.

Van Gogh Vodka produces the most flavors - 19 - of any brand worldwide. The imported flavors include the new trendsetting Espresso™, Double Espresso™, and Acai-Blueberry, complemented by the well-known Dutch Chocolate, Pineapple, Pomegranate and Appel Vodkas.
