On Monday, September 22, 2014 Grey Goose VX was unveiled at Brescome Barton’s “Art of the Cocktail” event at Roia in New Haven. Over 300 account owners and industry professionals were among the first to sample Grey Goose VX, the newest “innovation in luxury spirits,” at a 1920s-inspired event. On September 26, the Grey Goose VX official kickoff meeting took place at Brescome Barton in North Haven. Over 100 sales associates got a “true taste of France” from Grey Goose Brand Master, Aaron Rodonis. They also enjoyed a French cuisine breakfast. Grey Goose VX is inspired by Grey Goose Creator and Maître de Chai, Francois Thibault of Cognac, France.
- Grey Goose VX is crafted in France and contains hints of white fruit blossom, plum, apricot, light citrus and wild honey, followed by a long, lingering finish. The vodka is finished with a hint of precious cognac from the Grande Champagne region, the traditional home of the finest, most delicate cognacs.
