Review: Vo Vodka
Vo Vodka is crafted at SONO1420 America’s Maritime Distillery. Ted Dumbauld a former Navy veteran founded the distillery in 2019 after experimenting with hemp based whiskey recipes. They currently produce several whiskeys, Blaze Cinnamon Bourbon, Sindica Gin, and Vo Vodka. The distillery is built in an 1800’s industrial building steps away from the Long Island Sound. February 4, 1919 the Connecticut State Senate by a vote of 14 to 20 failed to ratify the 18th amendment making Connecticut the first of two states to defeat Prohibition. The distillery is named for its location in SOuth NOrwalk CT with a tip of the hat to the vote of 1919. Vo Vodka is distilled from a blend of cane and corn. The aroma leads with roasted corn, floral, and coconut. The sweet citrus and table sugar entry builds to a boiled corn peak. It fades with vanilla and citrus, and finishes with marshmallow, lemon, toasted coconut, and pepper.
