About Charbay Doubled & Twisted Lot No. 1 Whiskey
“Doubled & Twisted” is an old distilling term for when “the best stuff” begins to run off the pipe from the Still.
The first generation of this Whiskey garnered Marko his title as Master Distiller in 2009.
Marko Karakasevic double distilled the whiskeys that make up this blend in Charbay's Copper Alambic Charentais Pot Still.
The Stout Whiskey was distilled from bottle-ready Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout. The Straight Malt Whiskey beer and Pilsner beer were both custom brewed to Marko’s specifi-cation to follow the flavor profile he envisioned.
The Single Malt and Pilsner Whiskeys were aged in new American Oak, Char 3. The Stout was aged in used French oak Chardonnay barrels.
“We had a wonderful time picking these barrels. Making a blend of 3 different styles of whiskey really stacked up the flavor profile. Drinking this at 90 proof is pretty dreamy...” - Marko Karakasevic.

About Charbay
"Basically, we're an art endeavor expressed in alcohols and flavors," says Miles Karakasevic, Chabay Distillery's founder and master distiller. Thirty years ago, Karakasevic — a 12th generation Master Distiller — emigrated to California and became a pioneer in the American craft spirits movement by opening the doors to one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. Three decades later, Karakasevic continues to release some of the most unique and interesting spirits in the world.
Charbay R5 Hop Flavored Whiskey is the product of a marriage between two of California's finest institutions: Charbay Distillery and Bear Republic Brewery. The whiskey is crafted by distilling bottle-ready Racer 5 IPA (7% ABV), a craft beer brewed by the Bear Republic Brewery. Racer 5 IPA is a full-bodied beer that is made from American ale and crystal hops, and is heavily hopped (the beer includes Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial hops).
