Twenty Distillations in El Segundo
R6 Distillery sits just south of LAX, where founder and head distiller Rob Rubens runs a German Kothe still on organic California corn — the blue corn gives the vodka its name and its lightly sweet grain character. The distillery also makes recipes for other brands at the facility, but R6 Blue Corn is the house flagship. Explore more R6 Distillery, or browse the store's vodka and spirits shelves.
Tasting Notes
Sweet on the nose; smooth and slightly grainy on the palate; balanced pepper on the finish with no aftertaste (distillery copy). Best Tasting Spirits: kettle corn and vanilla aroma with green banana and butterscotch; sweet kettle-corn entry building to a vanilla-butterscotch peak, fading to sweet corn and vanilla; semi-dry peppery finish with anise, citrus peel, green banana.
How to Enjoy
Chilled neat or in a martini where the corn sweetness shows; clean enough for a vodka soda, characterful enough for a Moscow Mule.
