The Grove Collective Partners with Foundry Distilling to Launch First Ever Branded Vodka to Support Ole Miss Athletes
The Grove Collective and Foundry Distilling have entered a unique partnership with the launch of a collective branded vodka. As part of this partnership, The Grove Collective will receive a percentage of all revenue from the sale of The Grove Collective Vodka.
“We are excited to launch this partnership given the start of football season and how much our fans love to tailgate and celebrate each game weekend” said Walker Jones, executive director of The Grove Collective. “Launching this partnership helps us stay true to our mission of creating unique and progressive opportunities for our fans and athletes. We hope that Rebel fans everywhere will buy The Grove Collective vodka knowing that they are helping to create more NIL opportunities for our student athletes.”
“We are proud to be working with The Grove Collective and making a vodka that will fit perfectly into one of the most unique tailgating environments in the country” said Scott Bush from Foundry Distilling. “Ole Miss fans can be proud to pour this vodka on gamedays or anytime they are with family and friends. The vodka is well made, very approachable, and has a beautiful light sweetness from the corn mash.”
The product can be purchased at package stores throughout the state of Mississippi and carries the product #38139.
