Information about Chambord Flavored Vodka:
For the first time ever, the Chambord brand is stepping outside of the liqueur category and introducing a product that has been called ‘revolutionary’ and ‘groundbreaking’ in the spirits industry. Chambord Flavored Vodka is a leader in the industry as it draws from Chambord Liqueur’s expertise in the black raspberry flavor segment as a liqueur, to create a Chambord infused vodka of equal quality and versatility.
Using a delicate process with the finest ingredients, Chambord Flavored Vodka produces an unparalleled taste experience captured in the brand’s innovative new package. Chambord Flavored Vodka is a balance of premium quality French vodka and Chambord Liqueur’s trademark natural black raspberry flavor.
“Chambord Flavored Vodka takes cues from Chambord Liqueur as an essential, versatile element of the perfect cocktail,” said Hayes. “Some of the most popular Chambord Liqueur cocktails are mixed with vodka, so extending the brand into the flavored vodka category was a natural step for an innovation like this.”
Largely driven by flavored vodka, the vodka category is the largest growth category in the U.S. In this thriving vodka category, Chambord Flavored Vodka is set to invigorate the flavored vodka segment as the only premium flavored vodka from Chambord, the #1 black raspberry liqueur.
Even more powerful is that consumers have already given Chambord Flavored Vodka high marks. When tested nationally,* Chambord was rated ‘best tasting raspberry flavored vodka.’ Chambord Flavored Vodka delivers the floral aromatics of the hibiscus flower with notes of vanilla, white chocolate and the distinctive flavor of the original Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur. A unique taste experience, Chambord Flavored Vodka is enjoyed straight or in a wide variety of cocktails.
Mirroring Chambord Liqueur’s package evolution, Chambord Flavored Vodka is presented in the distinctive orb shaped bottle: “The Chambord Flavored Vodka bottle is visually interruptive in the vodka category,” said Hayes. “While most vodkas stand tall, Chambord stands apart.”
The bottle is accented with chrome detailing and the color of the product inside a bottle of Chambord Flavored Vodka is a striking transparent lavender which is derived in part from natural flavoring from fruit such as the natural black raspberry flavor found in Chambord Liqueur. Chambord Flavored Vodka is 75 proof with a suggested retail price of $24.99 for a 750ml and is available August 1 in 13 markets in the United States: CA, AZ, TX, LA, MO, KY, IL, MA, GA, NY, DC, FL and PA with national rollout to follow.
