McNeese State University fans now have a new favorite beverage with the launch of Single Estate Vodka “Geaux Pokes” Edition distilled by Yellowfin Distillery. The distillery was established in Sulphur in 2017 by McNeese chemical engineering alumnus Jamison Trouth.

The university has signed a marketing agreement with the distillery whereby a portion of each sale will go directly to support Trouth’s alma mater.

“I’m excited to co-brand this special product with McNeese. The university definitely changed my life and helped me live my dream so I want to be a part of doing that for other students,” says Trouth.

Currently, “Geaux Pokes” is available at the Yellowfin Distillery in Sulphur at 1716 Burton St., and in area retail stores. For more information, go to http://www.yellowfindistillery.com/
