Illadelph Glass, the Philadelphia-based glassware company known for its bong designs, has branched out into the liquor industry and launched a new vodka, writes Kristin Hunt for PhillyVoice.

Illadelph Spirits, the woman-owned and operated craft liquor company, is rolling out a triple distilled vodka crafted with organic wheat.

“We’re beyond excited to take the Illadelph brand to new heights,” Irene Cutler, founder and CEO of Illadelph Spirits, said in a statement. “Creating a vodka of stellar quality was our top priority. Illadelph’s reputation as a legendary, well-established brand with a cult following gives us the confidence to stand out in a crowded market.”

The new vodka is bottled and distilled at City Distilling in Holmesburg, and is available for purchase for $24.99. The goal is to also be featured in select bars and restaurants across Greater Philadelphia soon.

Illadelph Glass was founded in 2002, and has earned international acclaim for its innovative and artistic glassware. The launch of Illadelph Spirits and the new vodka adds another layer to its legacy.

“The opportunity to create Illadelph Vodka allowed us to blend our artistic roots with a high-quality product that complements our existing brand,” said Luca Falso, Illadelph Glass owner/founder and creative director for Illadelph Spirits.
