About

Founded in 1983, Charbay Distillery is an original California craft distillery in Ukiah, CA, built on 13 generations of family distilling history. They distill exclusively with a custom copper Alembic pot still, crafting whiskey, vodka, brandy, rum, and liqueurs with exceptional patience and small-batch precision. Pressed by Forbes, New York Times, and Food & Wine for their innovative spirits including hopped whiskeys and 100% whole-fruit vodkas, they push the limits of flavor and quality.
