Ocean Organic Vodka 375ml
About the Brand
There is a Hawaii not often seen by those who live outside the islands, and yet it is all around. There is comfort in being surrounded by it, knowing all the gifts it has given, and still gives, to us. And here in Hawaii, wrapped in the warm and clear Pacific, we live by its rhythm, the Ocean.
We see the sun rise and set on it each day; it waits for us around every corner; it’s the reward for every scaled peak. It is the constant in the life of a Hawaiian. Whether in the presence of its vast stillness or when it rages against the sky, we’re humbled — it reminds us that we are small, and we are lucky to be here. All life is precious and flourishes because of it, and we offer tribute.
Anyone who’s lived or even visited the Islands shares a connection and deep appreciation for the things that make Hawai‘i such a special place on Earth.
For Shay Smith and his family, it is where their life-adventure and OCEAN Organic Vodka began. Being born and raised on Maui provided the luxury to explore this tropical paradise, which included passionately riding its magnificent ocean waves. The Hawaiian Islands are his home and a magical place worth sharing. After returning from college and some International travel, Shay was encouraged by his entrepreneurial parents to create a premium product from Hawaii with the desire of making it available around the world.
The Vision
The idea of OCEAN Organic Vodka was sparked by an article in the newspaper about one of Hawaii's natural resources - desalinated deep ocean mineral water off the Kona coast of the Bid Island, This coupled with a collection of experiences like relaxing on the Ianai after a long day, enjoying a lobation and "talking-story" with friends and family became the basis for this celebratory creation
Ocean Vodka is distilled from pure organic sugar cane using continuous column distillation through 103 platelets. Each platelet acts as a mini-distillation, resulting in an exceptionally pure spirit.
Ocean Vodka is the only spirit in the world made with 100% deep ocean mineral water, sourced from 3,000 feet below the Kona Coast of the Island of Hawaii. The water in Ocean Vodka contains trace minerals including calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which combine to create an exceptionally smooth and distinct flavor. These minerals impart a light, crisp taste to Ocean vodka, and make a better-tasting drink.
Ocean is best served on the rocks or mixed with freshly squeezed fruit juices.
