Each 60-proof flavor is 90 calories per 1.5 oz. serving and all are available for a suggested retail price of $13.99 for a 750 ml bottle. The vodka was developed and designed by a team of women, who also created a charita- ble partnership with Dress for Success Worldwide, called Don and Donate.

Each label is numbered and signed by Mark Andrews III, the son of Knappogue's founder, and is available for a suggested retail price of $100.
