A better equation
Grown on a farm.
The story of every good drink begins with the raw ingredients. We plant, grow and harvest estate crops right here on the island, and carefully source what we donβt yet have on-site.
Made in a lab.
A spirits lab. A scientific approach to perfecting every last detail is at the core of our distilling philosophy.
Out on an island.
The piece of earth weβre proud to call home is Victoria Island, a 7,000 acre farm of rich organic peat soil nestled in the California Delta. Just east of San Francisco, our unique location at the nexus of the urban and the rural provides endless inspiration for a fresh take on California farm-made spirits. From our fields to our stills, it all happens out here on the island.
Join the Sabbatical.
For those that seek good quality, enriching experiences and to know just a little more. We invite you to take a seat around the table.
Batch #1 Debut Release
This super premium American single malt whiskey was aged in new American oak barrels for over 7 years and lightly finished in French Oak Pedro Ximenez sherry casks from Spain, resulting in one of our most exceptionally rich whiskey drinking experiences from start to finish. All Sabbatical Single Malt small batch releases are rare and special. This is no exception, and happens to be the oldest yet.
Our latest creation is one that youβre going to want to try for yourself and sip into pure luxury.
