San Francisco, California, during the Gold Rush,
was America’s quintessential “Whiskey Town”.
Its “notorious Barbary Coast had crime, depravity,
and viciousness, yet it possessed more glamour than any other area of vice and iniquity on the American continent.” San Francisco’s expansion and culture was driven by the influx of gold-seekers, the “49ers”, and the hordes of gamblers, thieves, harlots, politicians, and other “felonious parasites” who tagged along and developed a refined taste for California's fine food, spirits, and adventuring.
Fat Labrador Distillers is developing a range of Whiskey Town® mash-bills, including a Rye, a Sweet-feed Bourbon whiskey, beer-based whiskeys, and a range of California-inspired American Whiskeys. We are also finishing whiskey on Oak Staves in San Francisco, and in used Pinot Noir (local Sonoma Coast, Russian River) and Cabernet barrels (from Napa and Sonoma).
Our 26-year old American Whiskey, distilled in Indiana and Rick housed in Kentucky. This is a super smooth majority corn whiskey. We would put this American Whiskey against any from a smooth, easy drinking perspective.

Whiskey Town ® 26-Year-Old American Whiskey#1 Lost Barrel Series
• Our first “Lost Barrel” series offering is an extremely rare 26-year old American Whiskey. This exceptional Whiskey has a subtle and smooth flavor that comes with its age as well as a mysterious history. We don’t know the entire story because the Lost Barrels came to us under a non-disclosure agreement, but this is what we do know: The whiskey was originally mashed, fermented, and distilled in Indiana. It was a special, very limited, experimental run that never reached the market. Consider it a collector's item.
