Review: Oyo Honey Vanilla Bean Vodka
Oyo Honey Vanilla Bean Vodka is one of two seasonal vodkas crafted at the Middle West Distillery in Columbus Ohio at a former auto service garage. The other flavor is Stone Fruit. Both are made from a vodka base made from 100% soft red winter wheat, sourced from farms within an 80 mile radius of the distillery. The wheat is milled down, and the bran is removed at one local mill to ensure consistency. Water, yeast, and the wheat grain is warmed and fermented for 4 days. It is distilled in a custom built German Kothe combination pot and double column still. The vodka base is infused with local wildflower honey, and fair trade vanilla beans from Uganda. Oyo Honey Vanilla Bean Vodka is then hand bottled, corked, and dipped in wax. Brady Konya and Ryan Lang founded Middle West Spirits in 2008 and opened for production in 2008. OYO, pronounced O why O, is named for the state it is produced in. Read more
