NEW FORMAT TASTING NOTES
Founded in 1864 by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov, what we now call Smirnoff was the first vodka to use charcoal filtration in the distillation process. This charcoal filtration produces a spirit that is ideal for mixing because of its smooth and clean palate; perfect in a Moscow Mule.
Enhanced Tastings Update
1. PLAN AHEAD – submitting final creative decreases unnecessary administration on both sides
2. Get your application in by the deadline 3. Make sure you are filling out the correct application form 4. Option 1A submissions are limited to 25 activations. The points
allocation ensures you will get most, if not all, of your store selections, so there’s no need to double up on your applications
5. Call the store one week prior to:
• Confirm all components are on hand (banner sign fixture, wicker baskets)
• Confirm delivery arrangements if you are providing a custom bar cart
• Arrange to taste the cocktail with store staff prior to the tasting
6. Take care in setting up an attractive display & experience 7. Choose an appealing and appropriate food match 8. APPLY!!!!! Help shoppers to try before buying & increase your
conversion rate!
