DISCOVERY
Whiskey Distilled from 100% Malted Barley
46% ALC./VOL.  |  92 PROOF  |  750ML

We distill this small batch whiskey using thoughtfully sourced, high quality barley of varying maltbills. Our open fermentation, along with the use of local Sierra Nevada water, captures the character of our mountain surroundings while our climate and elevation nurtures unique aging attributes. The result is an American Single Malt Whiskey with a provenance and sense of place that you can nose and taste. For detailed specs, including malts, maltster, casks and aging time refer to our batch listing or the back label of your bottle.

CALAVERAS CASK FINISH BOURBON
A Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys Finished in Calaveras County Wine Barrels
46% ALC./VOL.  |  92 PROOF  |  750ML

With complex flavors and natural presentation (non-chill filtered and no color added), our Calaveras Cask Straight Bourbon Whiskey is produced in small batches to reflect our unique region. We start by aging interesting bourbon whiskeys in traditional new charred American oak at our distillery's 4,000ft perch in the Sierra Mountains. We then blend the bourbons and nod to our area's robust wine region by letting the batches rest in a variety of local wine casks. With these distinctions, you can enjoy comparing and contrasting batches as you collect them.

CASK BOURBON
Bottle of Calaveras Cask Strength Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon. Rare bourbon at cask strength finished in wine barrels.
CALAVERAS CASK STRENGTH SINGLE BARREL RESERVE BOURBON
Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Calaveras County Wine Barrels
ALC./VOL. AND PROOF VARIES  |  750ML

Every now and again a remarkable barrel of whiskey begs us to bottle it singularly without blending it with other barrels. We give these special casks additional aging time at our 4,000ft perch in the Sierra Nevada before plunging them into local wine barrels that highlight distinctive flavor attributes of the spirit. Presented naturally (non-chill filtered and no color added) and at cask strength, each barrel boasts a unique concentrated flavor profile that cannot be duplicated. We recommend you pick up our Single Barrel Reserve when you see it on our shelves as bottles are rare and profiles are exceptional.

RYE

TRAPPER'S OATH
EXTRA AGED RYE WHISKEY
Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Stout Beer Barrels - Aged 18 Years
49% ALC./VOL.  |  98 PROOF  |  750ML

When the opportunity for great adventure comes along, we don't shy away from it. Trapper's Oath is the result of one such chosen journey in which we worked with a Canadian rye whiskey that was aged extensively. Bringing the barrels to our Sierra Nevada mountain perch, we finished the whiskey in stout beer casks that originally aged our Hinterhaus Bourbon whiskey. As always, we present this whiskey naturally (non-chill filtered and no color added) to keep the integrity of this extraordinary rye whiskey.

NORTH GROVE VODKA
Award Winning Vodka Made from Northern California Wine
40% ALC./VOL.  |  80 PROOF  |  750ML

Whoever said vodka has no unique qualities never enjoyed the rich flavor of a quality bottling. We start by using 100% California wine that runs over our 20 plate column still. Using only our fresh Sierra Nevada mountain water, we keep our vodka unadulterated and completely free of additives and sugars so that it can be enjoyed in the manner most appreciated by its taster. Pay close attention to its cotton candy-like aromas and creamy mouthfeel before adding it to your favorite cocktail.

Named for the famed grove of giant sequoia trees that thrive just miles away from Hinterhaus, we distill our gin using fresh Sierra Nevada water and 100% California grapes. Vapor infusing botanicals native to our region, our methodical process retains delicate floral aromas with an opulent palate that is equally at home on the rocks as it is in classic cocktails. Gently nose this gin while taking a breath in and enjoy the scents of the mountains in spring before allowing it to hit the tongue and envelop the senses.
