A Hawaiian Gem: The Unique History of Maui Ocean Vodka
Maui Ocean Vodka was born out of a desire to create a premium vodka that truly captured the essence of the Hawaiian islands. Founded in 2005 by the Smith family, who have over four generations of experience in the Hawaiian sugar and pineapple industry, this vodka has strong roots in local agriculture and a commitment to supporting the island community.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Maui Ocean Vodka is its focus on utilizing natural resources found exclusively in Hawaii. The vodka is made using a blend of organic sugar cane and desalinated deep ocean mineral water sourced from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Kona on Hawaii's Big Island. This dedication to local ingredients sets Maui Ocean Vodka apart from other brands, giving it a unique taste and connection to its island home.
