Slapjack is a new kind of fruit-flavored vodka from MBF Company Brands that is distilled from corn, filtered three times and flavored with natural jackfruit. MBF Company Brands claims Slapjack Vodka as "the world’s first jackfruit-flavored vodka" and a unique new product that will be especially appealing to adventurous Millennials.
In terms of the flavor experience it provides, Slapjack Vodka is said to be smooth, juicy and tropical with notes of mango, banana, pineapple, orange and peach.
Over the last few years, jackfruit has become popular for its richness in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, and well-known as a meat replacement because of its dense and fibrous texture and ability to absorb the flavors that are added to it.
