Vinn Baijiu is produced by Vinn Distillery in Wilsonville, Oregon just south of Portland. It is made from brown rice using traditional Chinese methods with a recipe that goes back seven generations in the Ly family. The spirit is rested for one year after distillation and bottled at 40% ABV.
Distilled from brown rice, it’s a pungent, earthy, mushroomy spirit, relatively light on the nose but heavy on the palate with notes of cereal, burnt toast, and armpit funk. Largely unsatisfying, with a lengthy, grainy, and musty conclusion.
