Whiskey Town
San Francisco, California, during the Gold Rush, was America’s quintessential “Whiskey Town”. Its “notorious Barbary Coast had crime, depravity, and viciousness, yet it possessed more glamour than any other area of vice and iniquity on the American continent.” San Francisco’s expansion and culture was driven by the influx of gold-seekers, the “49ers”, and the hordes of gamblers, thieves, harlots, politicians, and other “felonious parasites” who tagged along and developed a refined taste for California's fine food, spirits, and adventuring.
Fat Labrador Distillers is developing a range of Whiskey Town® mash-bills, including a Rye, a Sweet-feed Bourbon whiskey, beer-based whiskeys, and a range of California-inspired American Whiskeys. We are also finishing whiskey on Oak Staves in San Francisco, and in used Pinot Noir (local Sonoma Coast, Russian River) and Cabernet barrels (from Napa and Sonoma).
Today we have two releases:
3-Year Old Straight Bourbon

26-Year-Old American Whiskey
26-Year-Old American Whiskey
