Cullinan Vodka is more than a drink — it’s a statement. Created in South Korea by a team of passionate entrepreneurs and distillers, Cullinan brings the brilliance and rarity of the world’s largest diamond into every bottle. Our mission is to redefine luxury vodka by combining Korean innovation with timeless elegance, and share it with the world.
Current Status
The brand identity has been fully developed, equipment partially purchased, and pre-agreements secured with distributors in over 15 countries. The product formula, branding, and packaging design are complete. We are ready for the final production setup and international launch.
Market
Target customers include:
Luxury spirit consumers (25–55 y/o) in the U.S., Russia, UAE, Japan, Korea, and Europe.
High-end restaurants, clubs, and hotel chains
Gift-giving and collectible markets
Premium alcohol importers and distributors
Problem or Opportunity
The global premium vodka market lacks high-quality products originating from East Asia, especially ones with unique cultural branding. There is a growing demand for luxurious, story-driven spirits that stand out in both taste and presentation.
Solution (product or service)
Cullinan Vodka offers a premium vodka experience crafted in Korea, inspired by the largest diamond ever discovered. By combining unique branding, exceptional purity, and high-end packaging, we deliver a rare and desirable product designed for global markets.
Competitors
Competitors include global vodka brands like Beluga, Grey Goose, and Belvedere. However, none are from Korea or offer a culturally inspired, diamond-branded concept with Korean purity and exclusivity.
