Ale-8-One has unveiled a new product. The Clark County company announced that they're releasing a cherry-flavored version of their Kentucky soda.

The company says it will go on sale Friday. The soda will be available in five convenience stores in the Winchester and Red River Gorge area at first, before expanding to the rest of Central Kentucky later this spring.

The beverage will be available in soda fountains, single-serve bottles and six-packs.

Ale-8-One is the only soft drink invented in Kentucky that is still in existence.

“This is truly an exciting day for our company! We have worked for several years, formulated dozens of recipes and finally taste tested this new flavor with many, many fans before we were ready to say, Cherry Ale-8 is here!” said Ellen McGeeney, Ale-8’s chief operating officer and president.

The company did not say if this is a limited release or how many stores will get the new flavor.
