The Sasquatch of Humboldt County
Humboldt Distillery opened in 2012 as the first micro-distillery on California's North Coast, founded by fifth-generation Humboldt County native Abe Stevens with certified-organic ingredients and water from local redwood watersheds. The Malt Whiskey is the distillery's organic malt expression — malted barley, American white oak, and the smooth, creamy character that makes malt whiskey so drinkable. The label carries a Sasquatch, and the brand's own copy calls the whiskey "as elusive as the Sasquatch on its label."
