VUQO ~ Vuqo Holdings Corp Due Diligence
About VuQo Vodka
BEFORE THERE WAS TEQUILA.....THERE WAS VUQO
The history of VuQo Premium Vodka dates back at least four centuries. VuQo Premium Vodka is based on an ancient technology practiced in the Philippines long before the Spanish conquistadores set foot on its shores.
It is the same technology that Filipino seafarers brought to Mexico through the Spanish Galleon trades to create the now popular tequila. Coconut vodka was the drink in those ancient times, on those far eastern shores. It was, in a manner of speaking, a tribal drink, one that sealed brotherhoods and with which the day's bounty was enjoyed and shared. It is this spirit that VuQo Premium Vodka hopes to recreate and celebrate today.
VuQo Holdings Corp. is a publicly owned corporation, and through its subsidiaries, the company engages in developing, producing, distilling, bottling, packaging, distributing, and marketing wines and spirits.
The company offers VuQo Premium Vodka, the only vodka in the world distilled from coconut nectar. VuQo (40 alcohol by volume) is continuously distilled and filtered multiple times, and is packaged in an elegantly designed frosted bottle. Currently, VuQo is distributed in the United States in California, Texas, and Georgia, as well as Guam and the Philippines.
VuQo also owns the brand Haliya Light Fruit Wines, which are wines handcrafted in small batches using fruits that thrive in the Philippines. Haliya is available in two variants: Mango Wine (13 alcohol-by-volume) and Black Plum Wine (12 ). Both are packaged in traditional wine bottles with award-winning label designs. Haliya is currently distributed in the Philippines, Guam, and the United States.

VuQo Premium Vodka
VuQo Premium Vodka is made of coconut nectar, unlike traditional vodkas distilled from wheat or potatoes.
The core ingredient that makes VuQo comes from Philippine coconut trees - the best in the world grown on the country's nutrient-rich volcanic soil and tropical climate.
The healthy coconut trees produce coconut flowers thirty feet above the ground. The flower is cut, and every morning so its sweet coconut liquid is collected and readied for fermentation and distillation to create a vodka of utmost quality.
The history of VuQo Premium Vodka dates back at least four centuries. VuQo Premium Vodka is based on an ancient technology practiced in the Philippines long before Spanish conquistadores set foot on its shores.
It is the same technology that Filipino seafarers brought to Mexico through the Spanish Galleon trades to create the now popular tequila. Coconut vodka was the drink in those ancient times, on those far eastern shores. It was, in a manner of speaking, a tribal drink, one that sealed brotherhoods and with which the day's bounty was enjoyed and shared. It is this spirit that VuQo Premium Vodka hopes to recreate and celebrate today.
VuQo Premium Vodka is the only true coconut vodka, as it is distilled from coconut nectar and not just infused with coconut flavor.
After the finest coconut nectar has been selected and fermented, it is distilled multiple times, cleansing it of all impurities. The product is then blended with water and sent through a series of activated carbon filters. The end result is pure perfection.
