When it comes to Firestone Walker and Calwise Spirits, you could say we are longtime neighbors in the liquid arts.
Located just a mile south of our main brewery in Paso Robles, Calwise Spirits specializes in artisanal gins, whiskeys, rums, and other spirits, the most notable being the distillery’s signature Big Sur Gin. We’ve long admired what’s going on at Calwise, and you might say a collaboration was inevitable.
So when Master Distiller Aaron Bergh approached us about doing a riff on Big Sur Gin, we were all ears. The result is “Old Tom Big Sur Gin – Rested In Oak,” which was matured in American oak barrels inherited from our DBA fermentation program.
