Gold Rush-Inspired Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sespe Creek Distillery Debuts the Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente

— April 15, 2025 — Lifestyle
Sespe Creek Distillery's launch of Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente marks a bold departure from conventional whiskey offerings as the expression boldly blends historical inspiration with modern craft distilling techniques.

The Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente is the inaugural release under Scotch whisky veteran John Campbell's leadership. This unaged white whiskey pays homage to California's Gold Rush-era aguardiente traditions while showcasing innovative production methods. This connection between early Californian and Mexican distilling traditions offers a narrative-driven drinking experience. The Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente expression boasts a unique mash bill of mesquite-smoked corn, fire-toasted corn, and malted rye. It delivers a distinctive flavor profile that bridges whiskey and mezcal characteristics.

Sespe Creek Distillery prices its Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente accessibly at $35 per bottle, which will appeal to both curious newcomers and seasoned spirit enthusiasts.
