Ukrainian vodka launches artillery case edition supporting demining work
Veteran-founded importer SPYRT Worldwide has released a limited edition Ukrainian vodka housed in repurposed artillery components from the conflict. The launch coincides with rising international attention for Ukrainian drinks.
SPYRT Worldwide has announced the launch of the Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition, a 3 litre vodka presented in packaging made from used artillery shell propelling charge cases from Ukraine’s defence against the Russian invasion, as per the company.
Ten per cent of profit from sales will be donated to Invictus Global Response, a group of US veteran bomb technicians who volunteer in Ukraine to clear landmines and train local demining teams.
“We’re incredibly proud to introduce the Ukrainian Spirit Howitzer Limited Edition,” said Sam Lerman, co-founder and ceo of SPYRT Worldwide.
“This release is far more than an extraordinary 3-litre vodka, as it’s handcrafted from repurposed military powder charge tubes and finished with meticulous leatherwork. With a portion of proceeds from the manufacturer supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this product allows consumers to directly support a powerful cause while experiencing exceptional quality.”
Vodka production rooted in Ukrainian raw materials
The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition is bottled at 40% abv using Ukrainian Spirit Reserve Vodka. According to the company, it is produced using a single water technology whereby the water, spirit and vodka all come from the same artesian well tapped since 1876.
Spring water is drawn from 200 metres beneath pine forests in Volyn and combined with grain from the steppes of western Ukraine. The vodka is made using patented pentagonal distilling technology and undergoes a 10-day resting period before bottling.

Military provenance central to packaging design
The base of each bottle is formed from a repurposed M119A2 propelling charge case sourced directly from Ukrainian military personnel. Each tube is refurbished to restore its appearance and smooth dents from previous use.
The spirit retails at US$999.99 and is available online through the SPYRT Worldwide shop and at select retailers.
Launch reflects wider visibility of Ukrainian drinks
SPYRT Worldwide was founded in 2022 by US and Ukrainian veterans with a mission to promote Ukraine’s cultural heritage through wine and spirits while supporting humanitarian and demining efforts. Each bottle sold contributes to that goal, according to the company.
The launch comes amid growing international attention for Ukrainian drinks. As reported by the drinks business in December 2025, the war has made Ukrainian wine more visible globally despite severe domestic disruption.
Svitlana Tsybak, ceo of Beykush Winery and president of the Ukrainian Association of Craft Winemakers, said international interest has grown since 2022, even as producers face uncertainty at home. “International interest in Ukrainian wines has grown significantly since 2022,” she said, adding that the conflict has “made Ukraine more visible on the global wine map”.
