Black Currant-Infused Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Von Payne Spirits Expands and Debuts Von Payne Black

— March 14, 2025 — Marketing
Von Payne Spirits has announced a strategic partnership with Premium Brands of Northwest Arkansas, alongside the introduction of its unique black currant-infused whiskey, Von Payne Black, to the Arkansas market.

Von Payne Black has garnered a loyal following among whiskey enthusiasts and bartenders due to its bold flavor profile and iconic gargoyle pour spout. The innovative infusion of black currant certainly sets the expression apart from traditional whiskeys and the spirit has been recognized at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition with a Gold Medal.

The collaboration with Premium Brands ensures that Von Payne Black will be widely accessible through retail and on-premise locations in Arkansas. Shawn Harlan, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Von Payne Spirit, shared: "Whiskey drinkers today are looking for more than just a great spirit—they want a story, an experience, something that stands out. With Premium Brands’ expertise and strong market presence, we’re excited to introduce Von Payne Black to Northwest Arkansas and continue our mission of bringing this one-of-a-kind whiskey to more consumers nationwide.”
