The cocktail is fantastic and sophisti- cated." —Jason Schiffer, Bartender "On its own, the corn whiskey offers a more complex palate than expected to comple- ment the sweet corn. In the cocktail, the corn comes through with round, broad strokes and engages with notes of coffee, dark fruit (from the Barolo Chinato), orange and chamomile. Well done." —Erick Castro, Bartender Craft spirits came to wine country when Master Distiller Steve Gertman created Santa Barbara County's first distillery. Located in an industrial complex in Buellton, in the heart of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay heaven, Ascendant Spirits is certainly on the rise. With a couple of unique vodkas and a bourbon under his belt, Gertman's Silver Lightning Moonshine is a throwback to pre-Prohibition style 100% corn whiskey. The 99-proof, "zero age" white spirit is produced in a custom-designed Vendome still. raft 'Shining C The Double Helix • 2 oz.
