OLD POTRERO 18TH CENTURY STYLE WHISKEY is our attempt to re-create the original whiskey of America. This release was distilled in a small copper pot still at our distillery on San Francisco's Potrero Hill, from a mash of 100% rye malt. Rye was the grain of choice for America's first distillers, and using a mash of 100% rye malt produces a uniquely American whiskey.

We have found that handmade oak barrels-- lightly toasted in the traditional manner-- impart a wonderfully subtle flavor to our 18th-century-style American whiskey. In the 18th century, barrels were made by heating the staves over a fire of oak chips, allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel shape. During this process, the inside of the barrel would become toasted-- but not charred. For aging, we have chosen several uncharred oak barrels-- both new and used-- to achieve the balanced complexity that complements this whiskey's traditional heritage. --Distiller's Notes
