Savage & Cooke Bourbon Whiskey is a small-lot bourbon from Savage & Cooke — the Mare Island, California distillery founded in 2016 by winemaker Dave Phinney — aromatically intriguing with brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch, and toasty oak, leading to a smooth, lush palate of vanilla bean, baking spices, maple, and baked apples.

Savage & Cooke focuses on small lots of exceptional brown spirits including bourbon, whiskey, rye, and tequila. Dave Phinney — the winemaker behind The Prisoner and Orin Swift — applies a wine-industry approach of careful sourcing, distinctive finishing, and strong brand identity to the bourbon, distilled and finished at the historic Mare Island naval shipyard.
