OYO American Character Vodka

OYO represents a watershed moment in American vodka production. Middle West Spirits created the nation's first barrel-rested vodka, a spirit that defies traditional vodka conventions by embracing the complexity and character typically associated with whiskey. Distilled 24 times from soft red winter wheat grown in Ohio, OYO is infused with wildflower honey and fair-trade Ugandan Ndali Estate vanilla, then finished in bourbon barrels. This unconventional approach yields a vodka with remarkable depth—tasting notes reveal vanilla, caramel, fig preserves, and baking spices. The decision to leave it unfiltered preserves the wheat's natural character, distinguishing it from mass-produced competitors. OYO has earned significant recognition, including 91 points from Tastings.com, a Gold Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute, and Food Republic's designation as America's Best Vodka. It represents a new category of American spirit for enthusiasts seeking something beyond conventional vodka.
