Maker Notes

The largest surf break off California is called Mavericks.  It was first conquered when a one-of-a-kind teenager paddled miles off shore to find the phantom giant waves of California.  Common wisdom was that California had no giant waves.   But when storm season hit,  one young man was certain that he could see giant waves breaking out on the horizon.   He grabbed his surfboard, and paddled, alone,  miles off shore, and proved that the monster waves were a reality.  He followed his vision, and discovered his dream. When Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher, refused to brand his herd,  his cattle ran free on the range, independent, unclaimed and unbranded.   Those “Mavericks”  gave their name to a unique American archetype.   A Maverick is an independent individualist, a strong non-conformist who doesn’t follow the crowd.  When everyone else is branded with the mark of the herd, Mavericks stand alone.When we set out to create our own one-of-a-kind small batch finished whiskeys,  we just had to name them Mavericks.  Each expression is a unique California Original.  The Mavericks series is our chance share our vision of what whiskey can be.DoubleWood is our high rye bourbon shaped by exposure to two very different varieties of oak.  CALI Mavericks DoubleWood Whiskey starts out in charred new American Oak barrels, and finishes with toasted French Oak. Rich with coffee, caramel and cocoa aromas,  this is what Whiskey tastes like on the coast.

Maker Notes

Developed in collaboration with Country singer/songwriter Mark Taylor, Steel String Whiskey is a unique, limited edition spirit.

Steel String Whiskey is a California Bourbon Whiskey with the soft edges of Tennessee summer evening. Steel String Whiskey aged in New American Oak, finished in lightly toasted French oak with just a hint of honey. Layering a soft honey/butterscotch finish over deep intense dark chocolate, coffee and maple syrup, Steel String is a smooth and soulful luxury sipping whiskey.

Nashville recording artist KC Johns and Cali Distillery bring you a new taste in whiskey. It’s smooth with a boldness that matches the country rock music of KC Johns.  KC is a veteran of country music with her own unique sound honed from U.S. and  international touring, Dollywood stage productions and years of cruise line performances spiced up from her roots in Memphis, Tennessee. Thunder Whiskey is KC’s personal selection of the unique mesquite smoked taste distilled at Cali Distillery in Gardena, California.

Pineau des Charentes is a truly unique French aperitif, produced from a blend of fresh grape juice and young cognac, which is then aged in French oak barrels for several years. We let Doc Swinson’s blend of two five-year bourbon whiskeys rest in these barrels bringing hints of apricot, sultanas, and wildflower honey to the already delicious caramel and stone fruit notes of the bourbon.

Nose: Honey drizzled over warm roasted nuts leaning towards a sauternes wine

Taste: Honey crisp apple with fig jam and toasted rye bread warms to a bold flavor of French oak and baking spices.

Finish: Vanilla ice cream drizzled in maple and pie crust with a bold oakiness

Warming and deeply satisfying neat or as the base for a cocktail.

Maker Notes

Our 95% rye whiskey is lighter than many other rye whiskies but still has all the characteristics associated with a rye. Eclipse is finished for two years in barrels that previously held rum. 

Aged a minimum of 4 years in a virgin oak barrel and ex-rum cask.

Nose: A big beautiful nose – wood shavings, freshly cut pine. All the baking spices – nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. And so much more… 

Palate: Baked apple. Citris and sweet spice with a long creamy vanilla and a warming orange sorbet finish.

A cask strength whiskey, great at full proof or enjoyed with a splash of spring water.

Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush’s Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec and Petit Verdot added for depth and complexity of flavor.

TASTING NOTES
Drawing inspiration from a refined Left-Bank Bordeaux blend, Caravan commands attention with a core of mouthwatering raspberry and black plum fruit while baking spices of cinnamon and nutmeg swirl on the palate.
Cabernet Sauvignon leads the way with its plush, velvety texture while Merlot and Cabernet Franc add savory top notes of bay leaf, hawthorn, and sandalwood. A flourish of rich, round fruits sweep across the midpalate, then culminate in an aromatic finish accentuated by dark chocolate reminiscent of a fine dusting of cocoa powder.
