The Tree House Tavern and Bistro welcomed Edrington Americas for an educational Snow Leopard vodka tasting. Sammy Karachi, Brand Ambassador for Edrington Americas, led the discussion. Snow Leopard is created using spelt grain, an ancient super grain, which gives the vodka a nutty taste and creamy texture. The vodka is six-times distilled with floral and anise aromas. 15 percent of all Snow Leopard Vodka profits go directly to the Snow Leopard Trust, a world organization to study and protect snow leopards. To date, the spirit company has raised more than $250,000. Snow Leopard Vodka is available through Rhode Island Distributing Co. (RIDC). “Snow Leopard vodka has been gaining new friends in Rhode Island this year with [our] ‘Rediscover Vodka’ events, led by New England Brand Ambassador, Sammy Karachi,” said Jackie Connetti, Innovation and Market Manager RI, Edrington Americas.
