Review: You and Yours Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

You and Yours Vodka or as the bottle reads Y&Y Vodka is made in San Diego’s East Village.  The You and Yours Distillery was founded in 2017 by Laura Johnson.  She was inspired by a trip to Cuba she took with her father as a High School graduation gift.  After touring the Havana Club Distillery she became fascinated with the whole distillation process.  The distillery currently also crafts two gins, a Summer Citrus Vodka, and a line of canned cocktails.  The vodka was originally going to be comprised of a blend of grape, corn, and potato, but to create a blend you have to perfect each component first.  They started with grape, and they liked to result so much they decided to let it stand alone.  Y&Y is made from California wine grape varietals distilled from bulk wine in a 250 gallon hybrid eau de vie still with a brandy cap and eight plate 10 foot column.  Y&Y is bottled unfiltered.  The aroma is vanilla with a grape backing.  Additional time in the glass brings out mashed banana and floral notes.  The sweet vanilla and tart grape entry is joined by banana chip flavor building to a bright grape and creamy banana custard peak.  It fades with caramel and banana.  The finish is warm, smooth, and semi-dry, with a mild sting leaving vanilla, floral, salted caramel, and whole grape taste.  I don’t know what the previous version of You and Yours Vodka tasted like, but this version is hard to beat.
