Indiana Vodka Recieves Indiana Artisan Designation

This week we were informed that our Indiana Vodka has been awarded the Indiana Artisan designation.  What is this, the state website describes it well:

Indiana Artisan supports entrepreneurs who create high-quality art, crafts and value-added foods in the Hoosier state. A venture of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Arts Commission and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, this comprehensive program was launched in 2008 to:

• Raise awareness about the availability of locally-crafted products
• Establish a brand for Indiana-made goods
• Provide artisans, particularly those in rural areas, with access to entrepreneurial support including training and networking opportunities
• Support artisan trail and retail development
• Encourage visitation to Indiana

To date the Indiana Artisan designation as been awarded to only 122 Indiana producers, craftsmen, and artists.  Of course, we think we make some pretty good vodka, but it is always nice when our fellow Hooisers think so.  Thanks!  And as always, cheers!
