Some places rush you through. This one slows you down.

Hinterhaus Distilling is an award-winning distillery in Arnold, California, within the heart of the Sierra Nevada. Founders Bonnie and Nate Randall were intent on crafting spirits shaped by their landscape — local ingredients, fresh Sierra Nevada water, and complete process transparency. Hinterhaus American Single Malt is open-air fermented from high-quality barley. Our Bourbons finish in local Calaveras County wine barrels. Our Vodka, Gins, and Brandy are distilled from local Northern California wines.
