Charbay is California's most pioneering and deeply rooted craft distillery — a family operation with 13 generations of distilling heritage that has been quietly producing some of the most extraordinary spirits in America since 1983. Founded by Miles Karakasevic — who traces his family's distilling lineage back to 1751 in former Yugoslavia and became America's first Grand Master Distiller in 2010 — and now led by his son Marko, the 13th generation master distiller, Charbay established itself atop Spring Mountain in Napa Valley long before craft distilling was fashionable or profitable. Everything Charbay produces reflects that heritage — hand distilled in small batches using proprietary techniques, no artificial shortcuts, no charcoal filtration, no filter agents of any kind. The lineup is extraordinary in its breadth and ambition. The flagship No. 83 Folle Blanche Brandy — distilled on a foggy night in 1983 during Charbay's very first still run and aged 27 years in French Limousin oak — is widely considered one of the finest American brandies ever produced, with only 100 cases released. The No. 89 Brandy from a blend of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc earned five stars from Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal. The 97-point Wine Enthusiast-rated Nostalgie Black Walnut Liqueur — made from hand-harvested walnuts soaked in 12-year-old brandy for 14 months — has become one of the most decorated liqueurs in America. The vodka lineup, made from Midwest corn and rye with no filtration agents, was named the best American vodka by Tasting Table — available in original Clear and organic fruit infusions including Meyer Lemon, Blood Orange Mandarin, Pomegranate, and Green Tea.
