Five Wives Vodka to sponsor Boise Music Event

Ogden, UTAH – Because of overwhelming support from the Idaho community, Ogden's Own Distillery will remain involved in the Boise Music Festival as a sponsor even though it appears, at this point, Five Wives Vodka will not be available for purchase in Idaho.

"We are absolutely humbled by the support of the people in our neighboring state," said Steve Conlin, partner and vice president of marketing for Ogden's Own Distillery. "We've sold so many t-shirts to Idaho residents that we think it is only fair to give those proceeds back in sponsorship dollars."

More than 1,000 "Free the Five Wives" t-shirts had been sold during the past three days and sales continue at a brisk pace. They will use the proceeds from Idaho sales of the shirts to sponsor the music festival at the level they had originally committed.

"We feel bad that we can't get the shirts out fast enough," Conlin said.

Despite the fact that Five Wives Vodka won't celebrate its entry into the Idaho market at the event, Underground Herbal Spirit, the company's other product will be there.

Conlin also said the company spoke with it legal council this morning and is considering any and all options available regarding the Idaho's disallowing of special orders of Five Wives Vodka. A decision regarding the next step is expect the first of next week.

"Honestly, we're getting a little tired of the description of our product that is being given by the state of Idaho and it is apparent that many people don't agree with Jeff Anderson," Conlin added. "We're high-quality product at a great price. I'd like to see his tasting credentials to determine we're average. Our customers disagree."

The company is receiving an incredible number of requests for online purchase. Due to many state laws the company can not ship directly, but is hoping to have an online distributor available in 26 states early next week. Announcements will be made when appropriate.

Five Wives Vodka is a high-quality, affordably priced vodka made with Wasatch mountain spring water in Utah. It is distributed in UT, WY, and will be added to MO and TX within the next 30 days. Its label pays homage to the early travelers to the West. For more information or a "Free the Five Wives" t-shirt see www.FiveWivesVodka.com.

Ogden's Own Distillery is a micro-distillery located in Ogden, UT. It is Ogden's first licensed distillery since the 1800's. Its first product, Underground Herbal Spirit, captures the feeling of the rowdy, early days of Ogden. Underground Herbal Spirit won a prestigious "Double Gold" at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
