Old Potrero Rye Hotaling’s Whiskey (750ml)

Product Description

Old Potrero Rye Hotaling’s Whiskey 750ml is a historic, single-malt rye whiskey that pays tribute to San Francisco’s pre-Prohibition distilling legacy. Curated by blackbook for its authenticity and lineage, this release revives a 19th-century American whiskey style that predates modern bourbon and rye conventions.

Distilled from 100% malted rye in traditional copper pot stills and aged in charred American oak, Hotaling’s Whiskey delivers a grain-forward, spice-driven profile with remarkable clarity and depth. Named after the famed A.P. Hotaling building—one of the few structures to survive the 1906 earthquake and fire—this whiskey is both a nod to history and a distinctive sip for modern palates.

At blackbook, we spotlight spirits that tell a real story in the glass. Old Potrero Hotaling’s does exactly that: bold, expressive, and unmistakably American.
