Old Potrero Hotaling’s Bottled in Bond 13 Year Old Whiskey stands as a profound tribute to San Francisco’s resilience, history, and uncompromising craft. Bottled in bond in San Francisco and made from 100% malted rye, this whiskey was aged for an impressive 13 years in once-used, charred, fine-grain American oak Old Potrero barrels — a rarity in modern American whiskey production.

As they have since 2006, the distillers at Hotaling & Co. release this expression in commemoration of the city’s rebirth following the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire. The whiskey draws inspiration from the immortal words of Charles K. Field, whose poem famously recounted the survival of A.P. Hotaling & Co.’s Jackson Street whiskey warehouse — a symbol of endurance when nearly everything else was lost. That legacy lives on in every bottle.

In the glass, this whiskey is elegant yet expressive, offering refined structure without sacrificing character. Time has softened the rye’s intensity, allowing citrus, gentle spice, and layered complexity to emerge with clarity and balance. This year’s release arrives in a commemorative box and is finished with an Old Potrero metal bottle topper, underscoring its significance as both a sipping whiskey and a collectible artifact.
