FUZZY’S ULTRA PREMIUM VODKA IS AN IMMEDIATE HIT
Fuzzy Zoeller’s Ultra Premium Vodka Is The Toast of Indiana

Sellersburg, IN—Vodka has moved into the top spot as the most competitive market in the spirit field, so when a new vodka hits the market and has an immediate impact, people take notice. Such is the case with Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka.


Maybe they could rename Panther "Double Vision Racing". :gomer:

Interesting tale. Zoeller likes his vodka and decided to commission his own brand, it isn't like he has anything to do with actually making it. The story is he taste tested vodkas until he found a contract distiller with a product he liked and then he put his name on it. The claimed Cascade mountain water would put it in Oregon where there is no shortage of distilleries. Hood River is a big one and Side Pocket is a high end contract distiller, either would be a good guess.

He or his business associates have done a good job of marketing the stuff as even I have heard of it in Utah where I don't think I can even get it, although I haven't looked for it. I guess the fact that Zoeller is from Indiana explains the tie in with the IRL 500. It sure doesn't make much marketing sense to slap your high end vodka's name on a doomed IRL entry. I guess Fuzzy Zoeller is a gomer, who knew?

Hmmm... watermelon flavored vodka. Think of the mixed drink possibilites that would be so much more :gomer::gomer::gomer: than a thilly appletini.

Does Fuzzy's vodka pair well with fried chicken? :gomer:

As an aside, I have had a fantastic watermelon martini before. There is a line of cordials from France called Marie Brizzard, and they make a watermelon liqueur, which works much better than a crappy artificially flavored vodka would.

Based on his comments after Tiger's first Master's win, that was pretty obvious. :saywhat:

Whichever one gets you hammered quickly enough that you don't realize you're eating a tennerloin sammich.
