A Vodka made from a unique base, on unique stills, with unique filtration and a sweetheart flavor profile.
How would you like to spend your days on the Hawaiian island of Maui making Vodka from pineapples? Sounds like a dream job to us. Mark Nigbur was distilling in Colorado. In the process, he invented a unique glass still — great for fruit Spirits, bad for grains. The LeVecke Family had been in the distilling business for more than fifty years and wanted to start a micro-distillery in Maui (who wouldn’t). They got together and founded Hali’imale Distilling Company located in "Up-country" Maui at Makawao in the middle of huge pineapple fields.
First, you’ve got to know that Pau Maui Vodka is NOT pineapple flavored Vodka. It is a pure Vodka made from pineapples — there’s a BIG difference. Pineapple tailings are collected from the local processing factories and made into a mash fermented with natural yeasts. Mark’s unique glass stills pass the resulting Spirits through volcanic rock and charcoal filtration on the way out, arriving at 95.5% ABV in one pass. It is then cut to 40% using natural, local spring water. It is a bit sweeter than a grain Vodka with a light, exotic fragrance.
Smartass Corner:
Glass is a perfectly fine material for a still. The main benefit of copper is that it acts as a catalyst during distillation to naturally bind loose sulphur atoms — which taste remarkably bad — that are common in grain-based Spirits. No grain, no sulphur. That’s why glass is fine for pineapple-based Spirits. And it’s better than stainless steal in this case due to the natural acidity of pineapple juice.

Ratings & Reviews
Christine,
Detected the sweet and a slight earthy coconut on the back end; simple vodka for a tonic w/lime or seltzer. This would mix well with just about anything. If you shoot it, the finish is much better. Otherwise, I would drink it again because it has the slightest hint of flavor.
Christopher,
I'm shocked at how good it is. Biscuits meet marshmallows, sugar cookies, and pineapple without being too sweet to drink. As good as some $40+ bottles I've had.
Mark,
Slightly pineapple, but not a flavored vodka. Very neutral in spite of initial aroma. Semi-sweet. Would drink again.
Amanda,
Pretty harsh flavor. Can taste some sweetness from the pineapple and goes great as a mixer, but wouldn't catch me sipping it.
Joe,
Starts sweet vague pineapple taste rich coconut and botanicals in middle with bit of spice nice finish. A party in your mouth!
