Bourbon & American whiskey
BLUE LABEL
Straight Bourbon Whiskey
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 120 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 more than 4 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.
BOURBON
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.
60% CORN
36% RYE
4% 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.
American Whiskey
BLACK LABEL
We set out to craft an American whiskey that rises above the ordinary—something with real character, depth, and value, without compromising on quality. Our goal was simple: create a whiskey with the richness and complexity whiskey drinkers expect, while keeping it approachable and enjoyable.
We begin with a carefully selected whiskey base, chosen for its bold aroma and layered flavor. From there, thoughtful blending and maturation build balance, depth, and complexity.
Our whiskey is aged in new American Oak barrels, charred inside to caramelize the wood’s natural sugars and give the whiskey a smooth, rich finish. Each barrel is sampled for flavor and color before being brought to 90 proof and bottled.
There are no added sugars. Any perceived sweetness comes naturally from the maturation process and the oak. The result is an American whiskey with character and depth—made with care, made to be enjoyed, and priced to be.

Apple Pie Flavored Whiskey
Apple Pie Westside Water is a smooth, flavorful American whiskey with the warm taste of baked apples, cinnamon, vanilla, and oak. We wanted to capture the comfort of a homemade apple pie while keeping the character of the whiskey front and center.
The result is rich and balanced, with a natural sweetness, warm spice, and a soft oak finish. Easy to enjoy on its own or in a cocktail, it’s a whiskey that brings a little bit of home to every pour.
