About the
The Mash Bill
Our Bourbon is the key to it all. We spent years getting it right and choosing the right mash bill.
51% CORN
36% RYE
13% MALTED BARLEY
Before settling on this mash bill, we spent countless hours tasting different variations and combinations of mashes straight from the barrel. Our whiskey professionals wanted to find something that was unique and delightful to sip on, but also had a great value that we could pass on to our clients. The effort paid off and we found the perfect balance. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Barrel Aged Perfection
Straight Bourbon Whiskey
BLUE LABEL
​
A lot of time and patience goes into the making of a good bourbon. It all starts with a barrel. We use new American Oak barrels that are charred inside to caramelize the naturally occurring sugars in the wood and give a smooth, delicious finish to the whiskey.
The Westside water blue label bourbon enters the barrel at 130 proof after being distilled from our mash of corn, rye, and malted barley. To choose the mash bill itself, we tried dozens of iterations until we found one that we felt would please just about any whiskey drinker. Something with character to stand out from the rest.
After aging for between 2-3 years the barrels are pulled and sampled. If they pass the taste and color test they are cut to 90 proof using California mountain water and bottled. Our bourbon is consistently good and consistently well priced. All the Westsiders should be able to enjoy a good whiskey. Cheers to you!
American Whiskey
We set out to craft an American whiskey that rises above the ordinary—something with real character, depth, and value, without compromising on quality. From the start, our goal was to create a spirit that delivers the richness and complexity whiskey drinkers expect, while remaining approachable and accessible.
​
Our process begins with a carefully selected bourbon base, chosen for its bold aroma and layered flavor profile. This foundation gives our whiskey a strong, inviting nose and the kind of depth typically found in higher-end expressions. Rather than relying on shortcuts, we focused on building complexity through thoughtful blending and maturation techniques.
​
To enhance the body and structure of the whiskey, we developed a secondary component using corn grain that is treated with the same care as traditional whiskey. Instead of using neutral grain spirits, we age this portion with oak—utilizing staves and cubes to accelerate the interaction while still drawing out genuine wood-driven character. The result is a fuller, more cohesive whiskey with a pronounced oak influence and a smooth, rounded finish.
​
We then refine the final blend with a series of proprietary techniques designed to balance the palate and add weight without masking the natural flavors. There are no added sugars—any perceived sweetness comes entirely from the maturation process and the interaction with the oak.
The end product is a distinctly American whiskey: bold, balanced, and crafted with intention from start to finish.
