About company
Hotaling & Co.

Hotaling & Co. unites brands that are anything but ordinary, creating and curating a selection of spirits and cocktail essentials that speak to artisanal excellence.

Because for us, artisanal says more than simply PREMIUM. It evokes the passion, care and taste we devote to our process—whether we’re distilling or importing. Our portfolio is stocked by those who share in that quest for perfection. We’re a family of likeminded spirits, inspired by our San Francisco history and backed by our in-house distillers and passionate partners.

Established in 1993, Hotaling & Co. is credited for bringing back copper pot distilling to gin and rye whiskey within the U.S. with the creation of Junipero Gin and Old Potrero Rye Whiskey. The company was originally founded as Anchor Distilling Company and rebranded in 2018 to honor A.P. Hotaling, a notable figure in American drinking culture.
