We make our handcrafted small batch spirits from scratch. We start from the raw ingredients, grains and in some cases fruits. We take pride in knowing where our ingredients are from, that our grains are non-GMO and organic. Many times we even know the farmer that grew them. We thrive on knowing that the same pride that we put into our finished product was given to the ingredients being grown to create it.
We complete our production circle our sourcing raw ingredients by sending our spent grains for feed to ranchers that raise livestock or local composting facilities. In process we recycle our cooling water to process water in a treatment loop to reduce our water waste. We aim to make as little impact in byproduct as possible. Anything we can do to leave our land in a better state than we experience it is ideal.
Our Flagship Whiskey is the American Single Malt. We release our Flagship in small batches twice a year. Each batch is different and we embrace this fact. We strive for our Single Malt to be distinctively different. The uniqueness, not being the same every time, is what makes it craft. We explore the nuances of flavor and the creativity with our recipe of ingredients because it is in our blood. We don’t try to make what has been made before.
We don’t chill filter our whiskey ever! All this does is remove the goodness from the bottle. We don’t extend our heads and tails cuts to allow for greater production volume, we only give you the hearts of hearts and explore the boundary of tails as there are good flavors and congeners that must not be left behind.
To learn more about the bottle you purchased, please revisit our website, look up your bottle batch number and read about the beautiful composition that makes up that batch.
Our California Bourbon is 100% California grown. California is know for some of the sweetest, most delicious corn in America. What better than to make that corn become bourbon. Our bourbon is 75% Non-GMO California Sweet Corn, 10% percent California 2-Row Barley and we rotate the remaining 15%, with a specialty grain to create unique flavor profiles. Again, no batch is the same, because no barrel is the same, we craft with adventure.
We are working with a few California Farmers in growing Organic Heirloom Corns which we will be eventually rotating in and releasing in very small batches.
New Make is the original product straight from the still, also know as White Dog. Our New Make is the hearts of hearts cut of our Single Malt spirit before it would be transferred to barrel. From conception we weren’t thinking of releasing an unaged whiskey, but our spirit taste so good coming of the still we felt we had to share. A great aged whiskey is not made by taking less than average New Make and barreling it, we believe the New Make should be the very best spirit possible before entering a barrel to truly create a quality aged spirit.
Our New Make is a great as a replacement for vodka, tequila or rum in cocktails. Try it in a Bloody Mary, Margarita or in a Whiskey & Coke.
These are small batch, single barrel and special blend releases. Very limited production and only available at the distillery.
This is a light, refreshing American Gin with a focus on citrus, coriander and lavender. This Gin emulated California botanicals, perfect for a summer day G&T.
Dry Gin is our dry California Gin. Juniper, coriander, Orange peel, Lemon peel and Lavender.
100% blue weber agave brought over from Jalisco Mexico, fermented, distilled and crafted in California. It is, but we can’t call it Tequila.
Our Blanco, but cut deeper and aged in our Bourbon and American Single Malt barrels for 6 months.
Our Anejo ages in our Bourbon and American Single Malt barrels for 12 months and is finished with premium California wine barrels.
Pisco is dear to our hearts. It is a spirit that Peru and Chile to this day battle over who was the creator. It is a spirit of celebration and a spirit that we must make. In the USA we can’t legally call it Pisco, we don’t necessarily grow the traditional varietal of grapes either. To some it is know as similar to an eau de vie, in french, translating literally “water of life.” To America and the government regulating our labels it is know as Immature Brandy. To us it is a must make spirit.
Enjoy a Pis-cola or Pisco Sour and let us know what you think.
Our American Brandy is not traditional, in fact it is a new category coming to life in the craft distilling world. In California we are blessed with an amazing variety of grape varietals. We combine selected varietals and age them like an American Whiskey or Bourbon, in a new charred American Oak Barrel. I think you will find that there is a reason for this newly found categories traction. These spirits are bottled young compared to those of Cognac style brandy.
