Born from a group of friends in the wine and spirits industry, who were inspired by their journeys through European and South American vineyards and distilleries, they returned to California with a clear mission in mind: to craft a blended, white brandy. Drawing on the state’s rich viticultural history and the Gold Rush-era love for Pisco, their goal was to create a spirit that would shake up how Americans drink and view brandy.
This is not your grandfather's brandy. Brandy isn’t just for stuffy old men in a dark room sipping warm brown spirits. Calisco is crisp and lively, low calorie, bright and meant to be enjoyed while you are enjoying life. It’s delicious over ice with a slice of citrus or melon, but is intentionally blended to elevate craft cocktails.
Their unique blend harmonizes traditional distillation with California’s spirit of innovation, resulting in a spirit that delights the palate and takes you on a new adventure. Whether it's in light, fruity drinks, in your hand on the beach, or enjoying time on a boat, Calisco shines brightest during spirited times with friends and family.
Calisco has earned multiple Best Brandy, Double Gold and Best in Class medals as well as a 95 and 96pt rating. Distilled from top-quality California wines and blended to highlight the bright, versatile nature of grape brandy.
The Calisco team’s mission is to redefine California brandy and the un-oaked grape spirit category, elevating it to an all new level.
A symphony of grape varietals selected from sun drenched California vineyards, masterfully distilled and intentionally blended for vivid flavor, purity, and universal mixability.
