Charbay R5 Whiskey 750ml

Napa Valley. Hop-Flavored. Distilled from Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA.

Charbay R5 is one of the most genuinely distinctive American whiskeys ever made — a Napa Valley expression from Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic distilled directly from Bear Republic Brewing's celebrated Racer 5 India Pale Ale. The result is a hop-flavored whiskey unlike anything else in the category: the bitterness and floral character of the IPA's hops carry through distillation and aging to create a spirit that bridges the worlds of craft beer and craft whiskey in a single, extraordinary bottle. A true collector's expression from one of California's most innovative distilleries.
