Fou-Dre Premiere Ultra Premium Vodka
Fou-Dre (pronounced "foo-dray") is an ultra-premium flavored vodka that artfully blends sophistication with a unique infusion of exotic fruits. Founded by Chanel Turner in 2009, Fou-Dre stands out as one of the few Black-owned vodka brands in the United States.
Historical Significance: Chanel Turner, at the age of 25, became the youngest woman to own a vodka brand and the first African American woman to do so. Her journey began with the desire to create a vodka that could be enjoyed neat, without the need for mixers. After testing 87 different formulas, she launched Fou-Dre in 2012, aiming to redefine the vodka experience.
