About this bottle

In 2012, brothers P.T. and Lee Wood started Wood's High Mountain Distillery, building production around Ashley, a German pot still made in 1880. The family-owned distillery works out of a century-old building in downtown Salida, and Dawn Patrol began as a trial with malt smoked over cherrywood.
