The watertown story
Entrepreneur Mikey Bortone found his love for coconut water while he was on the hit show Survivor— but it wasn’t until years later that he had a newfound appreciation for this mixer. Dehydrated on a beach in Costa Rica drinking whiskey one day, he decided to crack open a coconut, took a few sips, and then poured the remainder of the whiskey into the coconut. It was then that the magic was made: an extraordinary pairing was born.
At this moment Mikey discovered the perfect blend of smooth American distilled whiskey and refreshing coconut water that created a symphony of flavor that transported him to an island paradise with just one sip. As he continued to share various combinations of whiskey and coconut, he knew he had created something special—a drink that brought the refreshing essence of a tropical getaway to his home in Los Angeles.
As the years went on and unique flavored alcohols started becoming popular, he couldn’t believe no one else had created a whiskey-coconut combination. Together with his longtime friends Steve, Derek and Mark, and some other really smart people, they decided to make this vision a reality by developing Watertown Whiskey into a one of a kind vacation in a bottle that you absolutely need to try to believe.
So come escape the ordinary with us. Watertown Whiskey is on a mission to bring Mikey’s perfect blend of tropical and traditional to you, whether you sip, shoot, or mix it. You’re in for an unforgettable voyage.
