SKYY® Vodka Supports Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

SKYY® Vodka, Made in the USA, Proudly Supports Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
America’s Most-Popular Domestic Vodka Decries Absolut® Vodka’s Suggestion to Redraw North American Map

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo officially ended the Mexican-America War (1846-1848). With the signing of this treaty, the United States gained control of what was to become the Golden West, including California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Today, SKYY® Vodka, the number-one vodka produced in the United States, spoke out against suggestions by Absolut® Vodka to disregard that treaty, as well as the joining of Texas to the Union in 1845, as depicted in Absolut’s recent advertising.

“Like SKYY Vodka, the residents of states like California, Texas and Arizona are exceptionally proud of the fact that they are from the United States of America,” said Dave Karraker, SKYY Vodka. “To imply that they might be interested in changing their mailing addresses, as our competitor seems to be suggesting in their advertising, is a bit presumptuous.”

In the ad, an “Absolut World” is depicted where the map of North America is re-drawn with Mexico claiming much of the Western United States, negating the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, as well as the Gadsden Purchase (1853), and the independence of Texas (1836).

“Don’t get me started on the Gadsden Purchase,” continues Karraker. “I think the folks in Tucson and Yuma would be rubbed the wrong way if they hear this landmark deal was somehow nullified as suggested by Absolut, a Swedish-owned brand.”

SKYY Vodka was founded in San Francisco in 1992 and continues to be produced in the United States. Premium SKYY Vodka is made from American grain carefully selected from the Midwest and 100% pure filtered water. SKYY’s proprietary four-column distillation and three-step filtration process consistently ensures exceptional quality. SKYY Vodka products include luxury SKYY90® and new SKYY Infusions™, a unique, all-natural infused experience made with premium SKYY Vodka and succulent real fruit.

Their support of the Treaty of Hildalgo is touching isn't it? I guess they think we're so stupid that we don't recognise a cheap ploy for Aboulut's customers..

Glad to hear this. Skyy's the brand I drink.

Mix that with Calf or FL OJ and you get a "made in USA" adult beverage
to calm you down after reading about the crimes commited by Illegal Immigrants and the cost to American taxpayers.

I celebrate when anyone makes a public statement supporting the United States with known facts, while not pandering or cowering in the corner because the ethno-centrics may find it offensive or insensitive towards hispanics!

I don't drink, but if I did, I might just contemplate buying a bottle of Skyy.

Hurrah! Sky Vodka, and American brand to the rescue! This is great news. I like Sky and Grey Goose, but I am now a Sky Vodka man.

Let me get JP on the horn and we will add this breaking news to the boycott site!

Now before everyone gets too excited, we need to verify this release is authentic. I just called SKY and their PR person is not in the office for another hour. The lady listed on the press release is off till Monday and it seems a little odd someone would send out out a press release via a press service, list themselves as the contact person, then not be in the office.

I will let everyone know if and when we have confirmed this as authentic.

The good news is that SKYY is an American made alternative to imported vodka.

Bye bye market share for Absolut.

Looks like the Red, White and Skyy Blue are on the rise.

CAMPARI Produces spirits, wines, and soft drinks. Milan, Italy.
www.campari.com/
I think Campari owns 89% of Skyy

Lets hope Skyy or it's parent company are not connected with Miller Beer or LaRaza

And, borrowing from another semi-related thread about Vodka here...

Honorable mention might also go to -

Ex_OC and fmrjarhead have alluded to the fact that a local (to me) producer of vodka named Silver Idaho is apparently a decent one and, as far as I can tell (I've only partially researched it) is a local US-based company.
