Mulholland Distilling American Whiskey
Mulholland Distilling American Whiskey is a 750mL whiskey bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) from a corn-led mash of 94% corn, 4% rye and 2% malted barley — distilled in Indiana, aged in Kentucky, and finished at the brand's California facility. Founded in Los Angeles by actor Walton Goggins and cinematographer Matthew Alper, Mulholland leaves the whiskey unfiltered to preserve its flavour, and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

A Los Angeles Whiskey with a Three-State Résumé
Mulholland is an LA brand with an honest map: the corn-heavy whiskey is born in Indiana, matured in Kentucky's rickhouses, then finished in California before bottling — a route the brand prints on its own copy rather than disguising. The whiskey took a Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition per the brand's homepage. Because it is not filtered, the brand notes that natural charcoal sediment from the charred oak may occasionally appear in the bottle — a sign of the process, not a fault.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: vanilla bean, sweet corn and maple with baking spice on the nose; oak and dried fruit on the palate with a hint of herbal rye — the sweet/spice interplay Mulholland calls its signature; a smooth finish of caramel, toffee and lingering rye.
How to Enjoy
At a full 100 proof with corn in front, it pours like a high-proof Manhattan base or a slow sipper over one large cube. More corn-led American whiskeys are in our American whiskey collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mulholland whiskey made in California?
Partly — it is distilled in Indiana and aged in Kentucky, then finished at the brand's California facility. Mulholland itself is a Los Angeles-founded brand.
What proof is Mulholland American Whiskey?
100 proof (50% ABV). The 86-proof figure sometimes seen online belongs to Mulholland's vodka, not the whiskey.
Why is there sediment in my bottle?
Mulholland does not filter the whiskey, so natural charcoal sediment from the charred oak barrels can occur — the brand flags it as harmless and flavour-preserving.
