San Francisco-based North Channel Distillery has launched Frísco, the company’s inaugural spirit, inspired by Pisco, the grape-based spirit native to Chile and Peru. Crafted in San Francisco from California grapes, Frísco brandy is double-distilled via a copper pot still in small batches, followed by a unique charcoal mellowing; the result is a clean, full-bodied, yet delicately smooth spirit with floral overtones and suggestions of tropical fruit. 90 proof.
