‘World’s first’ breadfruit vodka aims to save the planet
Mutiny Island Vodka, created by chef Todd Manley, is made with ‘under-utilised superfood’ breadfruit and Caribbean rainwater.
Breadfruit is a carbon-sequestering crop that restores soil health and provides a nutrient-dense sustainable food source. The brand claims a single tree can produce up to 300 fruits a year, which could feed a family of four for life.
It is based in Saint Croix, an island in the Caribbean Sea.
The vodka brand has partnered with organisations including Trees That Feed Foundation and the Breadfruit Institute as part of its commitment to eco-conscious practices.
Its initiatives include planting breadfruit trees, supporting responsible farming and repurposing 100% of production waste into nutrient-rich water for agricultural practices.
Mutiny Island’s range features four products, all of which are bottled at 40% ABV and retail for US$26.99 for a 700ml bottle.
The flagship vodka offers notes of ‘citrus, melon and green banana, followed by a smooth floral finish’. It won a Gold medal at The Vodka Masters 2024.
The brand also offers a coffee-flavoured expression, Mutiny Island Puerto Rican Coffee, and Roots, which is infused with ginger, turmeric and sweet honey. The final product is Smoked Hot Pepper, a spicy vodka with ‘progressive heat and unique zest’.
Other ways spirits brands are being more sustainable are through the use of waste produce and by switching to aluminium packaging.
