Review: Vinn Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Vinn Vodka was the first vodka distilled from rice produced, distilled, and bottled in the US.  The Vinn Distillery in Wilsonville Oregon is a family owned distillery that opened in 2009.  The Vinn name comes from the middle name the five LY siblings share.  The family also produces Baijiu, the National drink of China.  Vinn is crafted from Non-GMO Calrose white rice grown in Northern California.  They use a seventh generation family recipe coupled with modern technology.  Vinn Vodka is made in small batches on a column still.  Once distilled the spirit enters a circulation carbon filtration system for 10-12 hours prior to bottling.  The nose leads with cooked rice, and vanilla with herbal and floral notes.  Additional time brings out banana peel and anise.  The sweet vanilla, and steamed rice entry is joined by banana building to a lemon rice peak.  It fades with vanilla and marshmallow and finishes with lemon peel, anise, and black pepper leaving a warm peppery sting.
