Detailed Description
Bottled-in-Bond is a highly sought after designation. It must be made by the same distiller, in the same distilling season, aged more than 4 years in oak barrels in a federally bonded warehouse and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume.) It is a designation that speaks to true artisanal quality, purity and vintage. W&B distilled their inaugural batch in 2015, soon after opening for production. Since then it has been resting and maturing in 53 gallon charred oak casks. Like all their whiskies, it was made with a 250 gallon Vendome all-copper pot still.

Distillery Information
Wright & Brown Distilling Co. is a relatively young distillery based out of Oakland, California. It is their claim that they have returned “to traditional methods to create exciting new California spirits that will stand the test of time.” The entire distilling process is said to be done in house, “from milling the grain to mashing, fermenting, distilling, barrel-aging and bottling.” A number of whiskeys already exist in their product portfolio, and the newest recently announced adds to this in the form of a rather interesting American single malt.
