the back story
During a 2-day client strategy session, we decided to do something different. We took our client to Toledo Spirits, a local distillery. The distillation process got us thinking… hey, that’s what we do with our clients' brands. Every day. We take in numerous inputs and use our expertise to filter out all the stuff that dilutes and confuses brands to distill the pure essence of what makes each brand 110% awesome.
So, why not create a vodka to emulate our internal process? Good idea? Heck yeah!
getting that taste just right
So, now on to the taste profile. Our stipulations — simple-ish. We wanted it to be clean and fresh, with a hint of sweetness and a little bite (but no burn). Okay, maybe not so simple. We started with the idea for a cherry vodka, but soon found out it tasted like cough syrup. No thanks. So like any good strategist, we rolled with the data and found a better path.
Lukas Kummer – Head Distiller, Toledo SpiritsDistilling is balancing science with art. It’s the chemistry of constantly exploring the combinations of flavors and aromas to finally find that one unique spirit experience that’s just right for your vision. That’s how Interrupt and Toledo Spirits created Fearless Vodka.
Plum Crazy or Stoned
Instead of ditching the cherries, we added plums, nectarines and apricots. And then we waited. And waited. But, to our surprise, there weren’t enough plums. Seriously, we dealt with an epic plum shortage. So, we adjusted and nixed the purple fruit. No biggie. In just three months and dozens of tastings later (and plenty of Uber rides home), we found that perfect blend. It took 64 mix options and re-blending, but we finally tasted the one. We had crafted Fearless.

so much more than a bottle
After all that work, you wouldn't expect us to put our unique vodka in any sea of sameness, tall round bottle. Come on. This is Fearless Vodka, people. Not your average sh*t. We explored a lot of options and selected a squared bottle with a long neck and confident stature. And cheap paper labels? Not an option. We integrated our graffiti wall into the bottle's design. The result — a killer look purposely crafted to create an awesome experience.
