Yobo Spirits House

Media Kit

Founded in 2015 by Carolyn Kim, lawyer and mother of twins, the Yobo Spirit House is on a mission to elevate the Korean American Spirit. Carolyn, born in Los Angeles, CA, saw the chance to create a modern American-made soju. Defying the stereotypes of ‘traditional’ soju, Carolyn created America’s first craft soju, one produced in the New York Finger Lakes and made entirely from local grapes. Beyond the liquid itself, she aimed to make a statement about her identity as a Korean American female entrepreneur.

Now, YOBO is produced in California and is made from a blend of Northern California wine grapes, local short-grain Calrose rice, and organic wheat. Since 2015, we have expanded our portfolio which includes YOBO Soju Luxe, named the #1 soju by Tasting Table, Kish Apéritifs, an imaginative range of apéritifs created in collaboration with Top Chef winner, Kristen Kish, KTOWN Soju, the freshest line of all-natural flavored soju, and Hunni Sparkling Soju, a line of premium canned soju cocktails. Anchored with a deep respect for heritage and an ambition to drive new innovation, the Yobo Spirit House is changing the face of Asian American spirits one bottle at a time.

LUXE is the first luxury, American, craft soju.

It delivers the perfect balance between a fragrant floral aroma, a complex and subtle flavor profile, a mellow sweet mouth feel, and an impossibly clean finish.
