AMERICANA
AMERICAN WHISKEY

A better sipping bourbon begins with great whiskey - taken a step further. Bottled at 47.5% ABV, our Small Batch bourbon is unforgettably smooth, rich with vanilla and oak, and finished beautifully with those hints of Sherry cask.

Our founder and 'Chief Barrel Breaker' was born and raised in California. His passion for great bourbon coupled with his access to freshly dumped Central Coast Cabernet casks combined for a truly unique bourbon.

Break from traditional Rye with our Heresy Rye Whiskey - bottled at 105 proof for a bigger bolder flavor profile. Finished again with broken Ex-Bourbon, Sherry and French oak barrel staves. 

Bourbon and Rye are wonderful, but once in a while you need something else. Something special to sip on that sits apart from the norm - a slice of American flavor that features Toasted Oak, charred barrel staves and an American Apple Brandy barrel finish.

Risk Takers.

WHILE IT IS OFTEN DEBATED, we HOLD FIRM that barrels INFLUENCE roughly 80% of the FInal FLavor of a whiskey.

The Notes and character created from contact with oak are what shape the whiskeys we love and enjoy.

 

instead of fInishing our whiskey inside of barrels, we explored what happens when You do the exact opposite. we fInish our whiskey with broken barrel staves. WE put wood into OUR whiskey - and the results were unbelievable.
