With a deep history in California agriculture, Joe Wagner and Kyle Stroud found a mutual curiosity in creating spirits that would embrace the ethos of cultivation of the land; after all, it is the foundation of human civilization.
With the first distilling run of apple brandy in 2014, Joe and Kyle began to tinker with a number of other spirits, eventually growing their own corn and grain to make rye and bourbon, selecting storied malted barley for their California single malt and venturing into brandy that pays homage to their history of growing grapes and making wine.
