Drift Distillery
About the distillery
Drift Distillery is located in San Clemente, California, and houses both production facilities and a public area with a bottle shop, tasting room, and a BBQ restaurant. The site's product range spans from vodka and gin to bourbon, wheat whiskey, rum, and an agave-based spirit. The combination of food offerings and tasting opportunities makes it a local destination for both those who want to taste spirits on site and those who buy bottles to take home.
Raw materials and production
The production uses wheat.
Whiskies
Drift's range covers several spirit categories rather than focusing solely on one whiskey style. Among the mentioned products are wheat whiskey and bourbon, but the company also produces vodka, gin, rum, and an agave-based spirit. This means that the site operates as a multi-line distillery, where whiskey is one of several product lines, and where visitors can experience both cocktails, bottle sales, and the restaurant's menu alongside the production.
