Charbay R5 Whiskey

Whiskey Distilled From Bottle-Ready Beer
Marko perfected the art of making whiskey from bottle-ready beer.
With our 5th 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 our custom-made Alambic pot still
- Aged for 5 years in French oak barrels
What to expect? A smooth, aged whiskey dialled up with a distinct hoppy character.
