OUR STORY
HIN·TER·HAUS
rear building, house at the back
Hinterhaus is named in honor of the hinterland at our doorstep - the vast Sierra Nevada wilderness that has long beckoned explorers and adventurers to this breathtaking mountain range. Our spirits are born beneath the long shadows and rustling needles of tall trees using fresh mountain water that flows just beyond our doors before bottling at our 4000 ft perch. We are proudly family operated, and we collaborate with our neighbors to source local ingredients and casks. Every spirit we produce reflects the pristine region we call home. Enjoy a taste of the Sierra with us, and we raise a dram to those who carve their own path.

Say Hello to Hinterhaus Distilling
...we love that they’re building a business on sourcing models that are innovative, scalable, and realistic; on nuanced techniques like open fermentation, elevage (a term for more attentive barrel aging), and slow proofing; and on inviting more people into a whiskey world where expertise is ungendered.
