Meet Rob Easter, founder, distiller, and blender and taste his heirloom grain whiskeys, High Rye Whiskey and Blue Blend neat or in cocktails specially crafted by Rob and The Rake for this event.

Ron Silberstein, cofounder at Admiral Maltings, will lead a tour of the floor-maltings at 5:30 PM

High Rye whiskey is bottled from a single cask and distilled from a bourbon mash of California grown Red Floriani malted  corn, and Abruzzi rye. It was aged three years in used ex-bourbon, Seguin Moreau American oak casks.

Blue blend whiskey is a blend of aged and un aged bourbon whiskeys. The mash was composed of 65%. Button Willow blue corn, organic Ozark blue corn, 20% organic white corn, and 15% California grown, floor malted, barley from Admiral Maltings. Aged a minimum of 3 years in ex-bourbon, Seguin Moreau American oak casks and new chinquapin oak respectively.
