Founded in 1888, Young’s Market Company is one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the United States. It is among the best and most respected wholesale distributors of alcoholic beverages in the country.
“The leadership at Young’s sees the opportunity for LEAF,” says Patrick Puryear, western regional manager, Global Spirits USA. “LEAF’s packaging, price point and the fact that it is USDA Certified Organic will likely appeal to Arizona’s healthier lifestyle.”
LEAF believes vodka’s main ingredient, water, is what truly defines the spirit. LEAF Vodka is sourced from unique waters around the country. One variety is made from Alaskan Glacial water, which lends a pure, smooth taste with a hint of sweetness. The other, made from Rocky Mountain mineral water, provides richness and complexity, offering a warm and savory impression. The water sources give LEAF Vodkas their signature tastes.
The packaging for LEAF Vodka is designed with the intention to have the contour of a leaf, accentuating the brand and giving it a premium look. With a recommended shelf price of $18.99 for 750mL—and Certified USDA Organic — LEAF Vodka is well positioned within the dynamic and growing vodka category.
