Stoli Group, a global spirit producer and distributor known for its Stolichnaya vodka, has announced the launch of a limited-edition Ukrainian-themed vodka, the sales of which will contribute to the company's goal of raising $1 million towards supporting Ukrainian refugees by the nation's Independence Day on August 24.
The limited-edition offering arrives in a striking blue and yellow bottle and will be the first bottle released by the company to bear its new branding and 'Stoli' logo. In addition, Stoli Group has announced that it plans to launch a series of events dedicated to supporting Ukrainian refugees.
"We will be doing everything possible over the next few weeks to maximize proceeds, which includes auctioning it at events and promotions in numerous clubs and bars. One bottle has already gone for £420, and I am hoping for lots of similarly generous bids," said Damian McKinney, global chief executive, Stoli Group.
