Doubled & Twisted” is an old distilling term for when “the best stuff” begins to run off the pipe from the Still. The first generation of this Whiskey garnered Marko his title as Master Distiller in 2009. Marko Karakasevic double distilled the whiskeys that make up this blend in Charbay’s Copper Alambic Charentais Pot Still. The Stout Whiskey was distilled from bottle-ready Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout. The Straight Malt Whiskey beer and Pilsner beer were both custom brewed to Marko’s specification to follow the flavor profile he envisioned.

Distillery Information
Each winter, Marko Karakasevic, master distiller at Charbay Distillery, travels to Central California and selects organically grown, tree-ripened blood oranges at their peak maturity. The oranges are delivered to his distillery in St. Helena, California within three days and crushed — skins and all — by Marko (a 13th generation master distiller!) and his team. Distilled in a double copper alembic charentais pot to 192 proof, Clear Vodka is gently, gently filtered and bottled by hand.
