Distinctive and pronounced, Dave Phinney’s house Bourbon.

BARRELS & AGING
White American Oak Char #3 barrels are hand-crafted by local cooper Seguin Moreau and the Bourbon is aged for a minimum of three years, and often longer. All aging is done on site in one of three locations, all with ideal yet different conditions relating to temperature, humidity, sunlight and air flow.

FINISHING BARRELS
Once deemed mature by Master Distiller Jordan Via, a portion of the Bourbon is transferred to Dave Phinney’s Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for a period of about two months. This additional aging adds flavor, texture and character.

MASH BILL
75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley

PROFILE
Mature yet lively and loaded with character. Aromas of orange peel and honey mingle with toasty oak and caramel notes that are consistent through the palate. Lush and complex, gorgeous start to finish.

Maker Notes

The Land
After research spanning multiple seasons, a particular plot of land was selected in Winters, California (approximately 35 miles from the distillery) for its nutrient rich soil, maximum sun exposure and access to water.

The Grain
An ancient heirloom grain, the Bloody Butcher corn comprises 70% of the recipe. The balance is 16% Red Winter Wheat and 14% malted barley. The Bloody Butcher corn, notoriously difficult to grow, provides intense flavor and structure. The Red Winter Wheat provides a velvety texture and generous mouthfeel. Malted Barley rounds out the mashbill and provides structure as well as flavor.

Tasting Notes
Deep caramel with an orange hue. Bright aromatics of ground cinnamon, dried orange peel and lilac blossoms. Finishes with a long, unctuous cherry flavor with pronounced minerality and a core of power.
