Whiskey Distilled From Bottle-Ready Beer
Marko perfected the art of making whiskey from bottle-ready beer.
With our 6th release, we continue as pioneers of whiskey distilled from fully brewed beer.
- Made from bottle-ready Bear Republic Brewery’s Racer 5 IPA beer
- Distilled in 2017 in our custom-made Alambic pot still
- Aged for 6.5 years in French oak barrels
What to expect? A smooth, aged whiskey with inviting notes of smokey French oak, vanilla and balanced hops.

Rating A- “While R5 is largely designed for sipping straight, it adds a surprising new dimension to a Manhattan cocktail.”
