Review Fix Exclusive: Emily Taffel Talks Yacht Life Vodka And More

Review Fix chats with Yacht Life Vodka’s Emily Taffel to discuss the brand and goals for the future.

Review Fix: What inspired the creation of Yacht Life Vodka? 

Emily Taffel: Being from the yachting capital of the world, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the team behind the brand has decades of experience in the yachting industry. Yacht Life Vodka was specially crafted in Florida with the needs of a seafaring, yacht owning clientele in mind. from the strategically chosen shape of the bottle to the “liquid luxury” within. 

Review Fix: How is it different from other Vodkas? 

Taffel: Yacht Life Vodka is a spirit with character – a hint of sweetness, a dash of minerality from the American wheat and artesian water used in its making. It is then distilled a minimum of 16 times to remove impurities before being filtered. It is a smooth, high-end, sophisticated sipping vodka that also combines well in a cocktail. 

Review Fix: What else makes you unique? 

Taffel: Yacht Life Vodka has a slim and square bottle to fit with little to no air space on a yacht, and two of the YLV bottles can fit where one round bottle usually fits, meaning you can bring more vodka on your trip in less space! 

Review Fix: Why should someone drink your vodka more than other brands? 

Taffel: When you are looking to level up your cocktails with a premium vodka that has character and a sophisticated flavor profile, Yacht Life Vodka is the top choice. It is truly – “A Taste of the Good Life!”

Review Fix: What’s your favorite Yacht Life cocktail? 

Taffel: My personal favorite is the Sundeck Martini. It is unique and light and refreshing – perfect for a day sunbathing on a yacht – or just daydreaming that you are!
