Oceanstate Wine & Spirits expanded its portfolio with new ready-to-drink cocktails, whiskeys and wine. Soku, America’s first soju sparkling cocktail, is made with soju, real fruit juice and sparkling water for a gluten-free, all-natural and vegan RTD. Produced in Saratoga Springs, New York, Soku is made from Korea’s best-selling category sool, a Korean word to encompass the many variations of the country’s alcoholic beverages distilled from rice. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Dixie Vodka Cocktails features a series of American-made craft spirits in RTD form. Elvis Whiskey, the officially licensed spirits line from the Elvis Presley Estate, launched two spirits, Tiger Man, a Tennessee straight whiskey, and The King Straight Rye Whiskey. Les Carrière de Mézy Sancerre offers a 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the French wine appellation d’origine contrôlée in the eastern part of the Loire valley.
- Soku ready-to-drink cocktails are available in three varietals: Soku Soju Tangerine, Soku Soju Pineapple and Soku Soju Strawberry, each 6% ABV.
- Dixie RTD Cocktails are available in four varietals: Southern Mule, Tony’s Tea, Georgia Peach and Greyhound, or a mixed variety pack featuring all varietals, each 5% ABV.
- Elvis Whiskey’s Tiger Man Straight Tennessee Whiskey, with a mash bill of 80% corn, 10% rye and 10% malted barley, features notes of sweet-toasted maple and roasted crème brûlée, subtle notes of a Granny Smith apple and caramel, leading to a very balanced, long, soft, sweet and genuine finish. The King Straight Rye Whiskey, with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, has flavor notes of toasted oak, butterscotch, vanilla wafers and a soft hint of pepper with a sweet, complex finish and a creamy mouthfeel.
- Les Carrière de Mézy Sancerre offers a light, fresh wine in a bright yellow color, an aromatic nose of fresh fruits with spicy and grassy notes and a crisp and dry palate.
