AboutSonoma Distilling Co.
Adam Spiegel founded Sonoma Distilling Co. in Rohnert Park in 2010, with whiskey as its focus from the start. Originally called Sonoma County Distilling, it works with locally sourced grain and double distillation in handmade copper pot stills.
Rye is central to a range that also includes bourbon and wheat whiskey. Some releases use barley smoked with cherrywood at the distillery.
Sonoma Distilling Co. Cask Strength Rye Whiskey
American Whiskey
Rye spice and caramel lead a concentrated nose, followed by vanilla, dill, cinnamon and citrus. The palate is oily and full, with clove, charred oak and pepper set against butterscotch and a touch of leather. A pure rye mash and cask-strength bottling preserve the grain's direct, assertive character, while a small addition of water opens the sweeter notes. The finish is long and firmly spiced, carrying dill, caramel and raw grain. Serve neat first, then adjust with water to taste.
