Following that, an 80-proof flavored and unflavored sparkling vodka will hit the market, also within the next 60 days.According to the earnings statement, the cognac and vodka will be introduced at the same time as Dr. Dre's long awaited "Detox" album and will be part of an integrated marketing plan surrounding the project.

In late, July Dr. Dre told USA Today that the album would be out in "November or December".
