An Artistic Union of Taste and Vision
A new milestone is being reached at Felene Vodka with the announcement of a special limited-edition release: Bartlett Pear Flavored Vodka, showcased in bottles adorned with original art by renowned Denver painter Carrie Fell. Through this collaboration, a tribute is being paid to both Western expression and modern spirit craftsmanship.
From the beginning, support for the arts has been woven into Felene’s mission. With this release, that commitment is being renewed in a vivid and highly collectible form. By blending premium vodka with contemporary art, a new layer of meaning is being added to every pour.
Carrie Fell’s Distinctive Western Style
Carrie Fell’s body of work has long been recognized for its ability to reimagine the American West. Rather than relying on the well-worn images of dust and grit, her pieces are created with movement, emotion, and cosmopolitan glamour. Through bold color palettes and fluid lines, her signature style is unmistakably hers.
Her subjects, often longhorns, cowboys, and cowgirls, are rendered in a way that replaces nostalgia with modernity. As a result, her work resonates with both tradition and innovation.
“My work reimagines the West—not as something of the past, but something present, evolving and always expressive.”

For this release, Carrie’s painting titled Nu Money was selected. The casual longhorn, depicted with both swagger and sophistication, perfectly reflects Denver’s unique identity—where mountain grit meets downtown polish.
Why Bartlett Pear Was Chosen
The flavor profile of Bartlett Pear was selected after much consideration. Known for its naturally sweet, aromatic character, the Bartlett pear was deemed ideal for blending with Felene’s organic sugarcane vodka.
By allowing the pear’s tart essence to shine through without interference, a clean and elegant finish has been achieved. No sweeteners, artificial flavors, or citric acid have been added. Instead, the flavor has been allowed to develop naturally from the ingredients—sugarcane juice, water, and natural pear.
This flavor was chosen not only for its taste, but also for its ability to evoke freshness, brightness, and refinement. When paired with Fell’s artwork, the result is both spirited and stylish.

A Collector’s Bottle with a Colorado Soul
This limited-edition bottle has been designed to be both admired and enjoyed. As part of our Felene Flavors collection, this special release was created to reflect both artistry and authenticity. Carrie Fell’s signature, included on each bottle, affirms the collaboration and enhances its collectible value.
As with all Felene Flavors:
- The vodka is made from organic sugarcane, not grain.
- It is free of additives, softeners, and gluten.
- It is bottled at 40% ALC/VOL (80 proof), preserving purity and strength.
Due to limited production, availability will be restricted to select retailers and online outlets. Once inventory is depleted, the release will not be restocked.
What Comes Next
In the coming weeks, announcements will be made regarding availability, launch parties, and official tasting events. Those subscribed to Club Felene will be notified first. Cocktail recipes tailored for Bartlett Pear Vodka are also being developed and will be shared in an exclusive preview.
Plans are also being finalized for in-store tastings, interviews with the artist, and additional features highlighting the intersection of spirits and Western design.
Until then, it is recommended that fans of both fine vodka and fine art stay tuned.
This collaboration has been carefully curated to deliver a bottle that speaks to both style and substance. Through the pairing of Colorado craftsmanship and artistic vision, a new standard in premium flavored vodka is being introduced.
