Canadian Spirits Co. Topikos Acquires Ren Ultra Premium Vodka
Topikos Spirit & Beverage Co. Inc. has acquired Ren Ultra Premium Vodka with a plan to take the beverage from a regional Canadian favorite to a global phenomenon, according to the release shared by the company. The acquisition also strengthens Topikos’ position in the vodka category, adding to its global and local portfolio.
Ren Vodka has won awards for its quality and flavor profile, most recently winning Gold at The Vodka Masters 2024 global competition, judged by a panel of independent experts. The vodka is crafted from sweet corn in a copper kettle, distilled four times and charcoal filtered for purity. It is produced in Ontario, Canada.
Ren Vodka is available in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia — and soon to be the rest of Canada, Topikos’ release noted. The vodka takes up residence in the Topikos portfolio along with other spirits, RTD beverages and wine distributed throughout Canada, with ongoing expansion into the U.S. market.
