Mutiny Island Vodka Releases a Limited Edition in Partnership With Grimal Grove
BIG PINE KEY, Fla., January 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Mutiny Island Vodka®, the world's first vodka handcrafted from breadfruit, debuts a limited edition small-batch Island Vodka® made from 100% Florida Keys' grown organic breadfruit sourced from Grimal Grove, a locally owned farm and botanical garden in Big Pine Key, Florida. Grimal Grove is the first commercial breadfruit operation in the continental U.S. and is currently home to the largest breadfruit farm nationwide
"When the breadfruit trees start bearing fruit, there's no stopping them! We get so much, we don't even know what to do with them," exclaimed Patrick Garvey, owner, and caretaker of Grimal Grove. "The summer season proved to be very fruitful at Grimal Grove, with an overabundance of breadfruit to harvest."
In partnership, Mutiny Island Vodka and Grimal Grove produced 200 bottles of the reserve and is currently the only spirit distilled from Florida Keys agriculture. The Mutiny Island Vodka Grimal Grove Reserve will be available to the Floridian community in select Key West stores in February of 2023. The limited reserve can be identified by the addition of Grimal Grove's name, and Florida Keys' breadfruit statement on the lower half of the label. In Florida, MIV is distributed by Breakthru Beverage.
"The Florida Keys finally have their own homegrown spirit. This is so inspiring to see happen. It truly demonstrates how we can enjoy a better cocktail and a better planet," said Todd Manley, Co-Founder of Mutiny Island Vodka. "I cannot wait to see breadfruit agriculture expand throughout Florida to create food security, and improve the economy through agriculture, all while benefiting the environment. Grimal Grove has ignited the breadfruit revolution and will do great things for the Florida community. This is the first of more to come."
Mutiny Island Vodka's ongoing partnership with Grimal Grove reflects the company's mission to serve better cocktails while helping to create a better planet and helping support communities everywhere by incentivizing breadfruit agriculture. Mutiny Island Vodka has committed to sustainability and the environment with its relationship with the Trees That Feed Foundation. The foundation's efforts focus on planting breadfruit trees to feed people, create jobs, and benefit the environment. We aim to continue to partner with organizations and companies alike that support the global and local efforts of breadfruit education, agriculture, and making sustainable choices.
