Rye Whiskey

First Released in 2016, Our Straight Rye is one of our signature spirits and the star of our core line-up.

An important source of Rye in the mashbill is the Brown family farm up in the Mattole Valley of Humboldt County. It is an heirloom varietal that is gaining favor again with the resurgence of California Grain farming. It is organically grown and unmalted; giving our rye a floral, grassy aroma.

All milling, mashing, distilling, bottling, and aging are all painstaking done here in house to make sure that each part of the process is executed with the utmost care.

Bourbon

Our bourbon is the kind of bourbon that sophisticated palates are looking for. It is a true departure from the status quo. It is both densely flavored and approachable, with layers of caramel and vanilla melded with herbaceous and spicy depths.

What makes us so special? The secret lies in our California grains, high rye mash bill and our 250 gal Vedome copper pot still. It is also in our dedication to using old school methods of handcrafting whiskey and focusing on each part of the process from grain to glass to ensure that only the finest quality spirits come off our still.

If you are an experienced bourbon drinker looking to experience California terroir or an adventurous beginner, we are the whiskey for you.

Cask Strength Rye Whiskey

Our award winning Cask Strength Rye is the first release in our Cask Series.

Our Cask Strength is a rare commodity because produced once a year in extremely small batches. As the base of our Cask Strength, we use a organic, unmalted rye from family farms up in the Mattole Valley of Humboldt County, California. We then supplement with a good portion of malted Barley and Rye as an homage to a centuries old style of Rye known as Old Monongahela.

Our high barley content, sweet mash fermentation and copper pot still produces a chewier, spicier, deeper rye than modern day methods. It is floral, grassy and has a little funk, with a depth of character that you rarely find in commercial whiskies today.

Drinking Cask Strength is a pure expression of the whiskey that gives you the power to control the strength and the aromatic profile of your dram by adding water as you please, catering the whiskey experience to your whims.

Bottled-in-Bond American Single Malt

With our bottled in bond we tapped into the rich history of Scotish Whisky and pre-Prohibition American Whiskey tradition to create our own version of history.

Our Bottled-in-bond Single Malt is only the second of it’s kind to exist in the United States and the only one available on the West Coast.

Our Single-Malt is made of 100% non-GMO malted barley grown in California, Washington and Ireland. We mill, mash, ferment, distill, barrel-age and bottle it on site.

Our years of hard work and patience have truly paid off. Our Single Malt is an incredible taste to behold. It is a rich, chocolatey dram with notes of pine, dried apple and warm earth. It’s drips of nostalgia of family camping trips and romantic nights curled up in the living room by the fire. A seriously delicious dram.

Aged Rum

Made with 100% Grade-A Georgian Black Strap Molasses then distilled in our 250gal Vendome Copper Pot Still (which is the same still we use to make our whiskies), our aged rum is a truly unique blend of traditional and new techniques.

When it is fresh off the still, our rum is fruity and floral with a little funk on the back end. After aging for 2 years in ex-bourbon barrels, those youthful flavors blossom into a plethora of warm, full-bodied flavors such as hazelnut and gingerbread that make you crave the comfort of your grandmother’s kitchen during the holiday season.

Our aged rum is so delicious it stands up not just as a sipping spirit on its own, but also in any spirit-forward cocktail that you would normally put whiskey in.

White Rum

We use 100% Grade-A Black Strap Molasses from Georgia. Black strap molasses is the inkiest, most bitter of the sugar byproducts and adds a beautiful depth of character to our rum that is both buttery and floral. Giving you a true taste of what an artisanal American rum should taste like.

While most rum is made in a column still, our rum is distilled in our 250gal Vendome Copper Pot Still - the same Still we use to make all of our whiskies. This gives our white rum a fun funky earthiness.

Between the pure, unadulterated creamy floral notes and the savory finish from our pot distillation, our white rum is perfect for cocktails. It’s flavor and body provides a great balance to sweeter, more tropical flavors, particularly in rum punches or other traditional tiki concoctions.
