Distinctive Dave Phinney Whiskeys

WHISKEY FROM A NAPA WINEMAKING LEGEND!

Legendary winemaker Dave Phinney has opened his own distillery, Savage & Cooke, on historic Mare Island north of San Francisco, and we are thrilled to be able to offer two new releases from them! A maverick in the wine industry after creating brands such as the Prisoner, Locations and Orin Swift, his decision to enter the spirits industry has been eagerly anticipated. Much like his wine brands these whiskeys offer up loads of complex flavors, concentration, balanced oak influence and lushness.
