Tamar Distillery Inc. Mendocino Spirits was founded in 2008. The Redwood Valley distillery makes Low Gap Whiskey, Russell Henry Gins, Fluid Dynamics Cocktails, and DSP 162 Vodkas.
They use ancient methods learned during a lengthy apprenticeship with a brandy master from Cognac. Crispin Cain, the president and co-founder, applies the old double distillation method used in Cognac for over 500 years to make Low Gap Whiskey and all their products. This allows him to select only the heart of the spirit to save for aging, blending, and drinking, lending a particularly high quality to the finished products.
