And now he expects to launch his line of spirits brand “Golden State Distillery”around 2017 February as follows.

  • Gray Whale Gin
  • Coast Vodka
  • Marvericks Whisky

Here is some of the Instagram photo that gives you an idea of what they do.

According to Marsh, Whisky age much faster in California weather as compared to Scotland or Japanese weather as it gets hot in daytime and cool off at night that enables Barrel wood to expand and shrink much a lot.

Traditional Scotland and Japanese whisky could take 10 years to be aged and produced such as Hakusyu 12 years where as California weather makes it happen in 3 to 5 years.

Pricing for those spirits still unknown, yet Marsh aims to make it approachable pricing for authentic spirits. (We will follow up the pricing and those brand logo information as it becomes public.)

I had a chance to sip his Gray Whale Gin in his workshop other day in Playa Vista, It was certainly easy to drink even for non-spirits drinker like myself and had unique flavor which comes from the mixture of Jalapeno, Orange, Douglas Tree(Pine tree).

Those ingredients respectively come from Mexico, Central California and North California.

It is named after Gray Whale in nature because they circulate the coast of Mexico and California on the way to Arctic.They came up with the name as they cruise along PCH and saw grey whale massive blow out.
Hopefully we can enjoy this crafted spirits on the beach in 2017 February.
