Calisco was founded by Paul Sanguinetti and David Slade with a mission to create a sustainable grape spirit that captures California's character, history, and culture in a bottle. The canvas were the countless high quality grape spirits distilled locally from fruit grown in the sundrenched state. The artistry was to blend them into a unique spirit that could compete with the grape white spirits from throughout the world. Inspired by Pisco's history on the gold coast, they sought to create a world class spirit and have resoundingly succeeded. This fresh dry aromatic grape spirit is poised to reinvigorate the once important California brandy category with a new a unique expression that could only come from the golden state. Try it in place of pisco any cocktail or substitute in for agave or rum for a new twist on any old classic. This brand won Gold Medals at San Francisco and Singapore World Spirits Competitions.
