Women-owned and operated craft liquor company Illadelph Spirits launched its flagship Illadelph Vodka, a triple-distilled organic wheat vodka, within a uniquely shaped glassware design. Bottled and distilled at Philadelphia's renowned City Distilling, the premium vodka boasts well-balanced aromas, and a smooth and clean finish.
Illadelph Glass, the Philadelphia-based bong designer known for its artful, quality glassware, designed the vodka's distinctive glass bottle, which resembles a piece of smoking paraphernalia. With the launch of Illadelph Vodka, the high-end glassware maker is orienting itself toward the lucrative alcohol market.
While Illadelph Glass has products that range from $380 to nearly $3,000, a 750ml bottle of Illadelph Vodka will retail at a budget-friendly $24.99. It's set to support Philadelphia’s vibrant culinary and nightlife scene whether enjoyed on the rocks or in a cocktail.
