Product Description
Old Potrero Christmas Spirit 9 Year 700ml is a rare, seasonally inspired American whiskey that captures the warmth and complexity of the holidays through extended aging and distinctive spice-driven character. Curated by blackbook for its originality, maturity, and limited availability, this expression represents one of the most unique releases in the Old Potrero portfolio.
Aged for an impressive 9 years, this Christmas Spirit develops deep layers of oak, baking spice, toasted grain, and rich sweetness that feel intentionally suited for winter sipping. Rather than relying on artificial flavoring, the holiday character comes from time, wood, and thoughtful production—resulting in a whiskey that feels celebratory without being gimmicky.
At blackbook, we prioritize seasonal releases that actually earn their name. Old Potrero Christmas Spirit does exactly that: mature, comforting, and unmistakably designed for slow pours during the colder months.
