Calisco Spirit of California is an unoaked craft brandy distilled from California wines and rested in steel tanks for at least two years, bottled at 76 proof (38% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.
Inspired by pisco and brandy's rich history on the Golden Coast, from the Gold Rush through Prohibition, Calisco pays homage to the finest piscos of South America while embodying California's new-world terroir. It is a symphony of grape varietals from sun-drenched California vineyards, masterfully distilled and intentionally blended at its Ukiah facility for vivid flavor, purity and universal mixability. Employee owned and sustainably produced, it has earned multiple Best Brandy, Double Gold and Best in Class medals.
Crisp, lively and bright, it shows citrus, floral notes, green fruits and melon with bergamot, vanilla, apple and honey, plus touches of cinnamon and white pepper.
The sunburst label makes it a cheerful gift for cocktail lovers.
