Process & Profile
Old Potrero Toasted Rye Whiskey hails from San Francisco distillers Hotaling & Co., whose craft whiskey legacy stretches back to 1993. Made from a 100% malted rye mash, the spirit is pot-distilled in small copper stills and matured for a minimum of six years in new, extra-fine grain American white oak barrels that have been traditionally toasted—not charred.
