Wright & Brown Straight Bourbon Whiskey

We are not your average bourbon.  We are not your middle of the road, MGP sourced, cloylingly sweet, maple-flavored whiskey that you find on most retail shelves.

Our straight bourbon is rich, grassy, herbaceous and spicy. It is the kind of bourbon that sophisticated palates are looking for as a departure from the boring status quo.  

What makes us so special? The secret lies in our inclusion of California grains, high rye mash bill and our 250 gal Vendome copper pot still.  It is in our dedication to using old school methods of handcrafting whiskey and focusing on each part of the process from grain to glass to ensure that only the finest quality spirits come off our still.  

Our bourbon is aged for over 2 years in #3 charred 30G and 53G American Oak Barrels to round out our flavor and give the bourbon a softer, rounder, caramel-laden mouthfeel.  Creating the perfect balance in flavors that makes our bourbon perfect to drink alone or pair with an expertly cooked steak dinner. 

If you are an experienced bourbon drinker looking to experience California terroir or an adventurous beginner, we are the whiskey for you.
