Buckeye Vodka, The Spirit of Ohio, becomes a proud sponsor of Ohio State Athletics

DAYTON, OH (August 29, 2024) – Buckeye Vodka, the #1 Ohio-made vodka, announces a sponsorship with The Ohio State University Department of Athletics, beginning August 2024. For the first time, Buckeye Vodka is a Proud Sponsor of Ohio State Athletics, brokered through the departments multi-media rights partner Learfield, the media and technology company powering college athletics. Just in time for tailgating season, Buckeye Vodka will be making a splash across local and national media outlets, celebrating, and building excitement around this relationship. Buckeye Vodka will be available at all events throughout the year at both the Ohio Stadium and the Schottenstein Center. 

  

The collaboration between these two beloved Ohio brands is a natural partnership. Now Buckeye fans can enjoy their favorite Ohio-made vodka at collegiate football and basketball games. A family-owned and operated business, making premium craft vodka that’s distilled 10 times, Buckeye Vodka is hailed by fans throughout the state as the smoothest vodka. "The relationship with The Ohio State University Athletics just makes sense. The brands align very well. We are thrilled to bring two winning traditions together in this way and share the story of Buckeye Vodka with Buckeye Nation,” shares Jim Finke, Co-Founder of Buckeye Vodka. "Ohio State Athletics is an incredible brand with a winning tradition. They are particular about who they take on as sponsors. Enjoy Buckeye Vodka at your tailgates, share it at home with your friends and ask for it by name at your favorite establishments not just on game days but any day you're enjoying a refreshment. As always, we ask that everyone please drink responsibly.”

"We are excited to welcome Buckeye Vodka as a Proud Sponsor of Ohio State Athletics," said Todd Knisley, Vice President & General Manager at Ohio State Sports Properties. "Their commitment to quality and passion for supporting local communities aligns perfectly with our mission at The Ohio State University Athletics."

Buckeye Vodka continues to lead Ohio’s alcohol and vodka industry with a handcrafted production method that is meticulous and distinct. From its inception, it has boasted the true “Spirit of Ohio” – rock-solid determination in the face of adversity. Buckeye Vodka fervently tests and compares every batch against the leading national brands and will not stop until it’s the smoothest. This personal attention to detail ensures that each bottle of Buckeye Vodka is just as good as the last, offering top shelf vodka without the top shelf price.
