American Whiskey
Second Glance
"The elegance of American whiskey through the eyes of a winemaker: smoothness, complexity, and a distinctive touch of Napa Valley."
The Mastery of Savage & Cooke
Second Glance American Whiskey is a creation of the visionary Dave Phinney at his Mare Island distillery. Made with a predominant corn base and pure spring water, this whiskey stands out for its unique finishing process in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon red wine barrels. This master stroke adds an aromatic and structural dimension that sets it apart, living up to its name: a spirit that deserves a second glance.
