Review: Our/Detroit Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Our/Detroit Vodka was the second member of the Our/Vodka family.  Our/Vodka was started by six entrepreneurs in Stockholm Sweden in 2011.  Our/Vodka is a global family built by local partners in cities around the world.  Our/Detroit is a collaboration between Pernod Richard and local partners Kate Bordine and Catherine Kelly. Currently there are seven city members including Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, London, Los Angeles, and Miami.  More are in the development stage.  Each location starts with a raw wheat distillate sourced from Ahus Sweden.  Each distillery then adds their own local ingredients.  Our/Detroit is made in Hubbard-Richard, a neighborhood in Southwest Detroit in a building that once housed Bagley Billiard Center, and later a liquor store.  After several years of neglect the building was rehabbed to give life to this micro distillery.  Our/Detroit Vodka adds a corn based ethanol sourced from Hiram Walker just across the Detroit River in Canada.  This is re-distilled with the raw wheat distillate and then blended with Detroit city water before hand bottling onsite in a 375 ml squat beer bottle shaped container, topped with a metal crown cap. 

The aroma is soft wheat, corn, and vanilla with a citrus backing.  As with all my unaged spirit reviews I initially sample Our/Detroit Vodka at 35 degrees.  The sweet corn and lemon entry has a creamy mouth feel with notes of fresh baked wheat bread, building to a vanilla lemon pastry peak.  The crisp fade has a peppery sting.  The dry finish is warm, and spicy with mineral and citrus taste.  Sampled at room temperature I pick up more lemon flavor upfront.  Creamed corn arrives at the midpoint.  It fades with a significant mineral presence and the finish is dry, warm, and peppery.  Our/Detroit Vodka is a tasty well crafted vodka smooth enough to serve chilled, and straight in a martini glass.  The sweet creamy flavor will also play well in your favorite vodka cocktail.
