Hotaling & Co.

Hotaling & Co. Providing the bridge between discerning buyers and the world's finest spirits. Hotaling & Co.

(pronounced ho-de-ling), formerly Anchor Distilling Company, is an importer and distiller of fine spirits headquartered in San Francisco. Originally established in 1993 by beverage visionary Fritz Maytag, fueled by the bold realization that there were no pot-distilled whiskies or high-end craft gins being made legally in America at the time. As a result, Anchor Distilling Company is credited with

creating American’s first craft whiskey (Old Potrero) and gin (Junipero Gin) after Prohibition. In 2010, Fritz Maytag retired and sold Anchor Distilling Company to a business partnership that included Tony Foglio and London's oldest wine and spirit merchant, Berry Bros. & Rudd. With the sale, Anchor Distilling Company expanded beyond production on Potrero Hill to incorporate importing a collection of super-premium craft spirits from around the world. Today, newly named Hotaling & Co., has earned a nationwide reputation for its portfolio of craft spirits discerningly imported to the U.S. that is made up of over 300 specialty products from nearly 23 countries. The Hotaling name remains a part of San Francisco drinking culture as the distillery celebrates 25 years of production, a proud tradition that will continue into the future alongside the other core pillars: importing and consumer education.

Old Potrero California Cellar Series No. 04 begins with our Straight Rye Whiskey before a five-month finish in Old Potrero barrels that previously aged a custom Imperial Stout from Almanac Beer Co. The result brings together the character of two Bay Area producers while remaining unmistakably Old Potrero rye.

We are incredibly excited to announce that, effective July 1, Frey Ranch Distillery has appointed Hotaling & Co. to lead its national sales & marketing expansion.

Frey Ranch is a true farm-to-glass American whiskey — grown, distilled, and bottled on a fifth-generation family farm in Fallon, Nevada. Their passion, commitment to quality, and authenticity are a natural reflection of the values we look for in every brand we represent.

We couldn’t be more excited to champion Frey Ranch alongside our portfolio of globally respected premium spirits and help bring this exceptional American whiskey to more markets and consumers across the country.

Fire up the grill — Memorial Day pairings that actually sing together:

Grilled ribeye + Old Potrero Toasted Barrel 6 Year Rye Whiskey — bold rye spice, toasted oak, and caramel notes hold their own against a rich, charred steak.

BBQ ribs + Denizen Merchant’s Reserve Rum — molasses, baking spice, and oak pair naturally with sticky glaze and smoky edges fresh off the grill.

Grilled shrimp skewers + Fiero Habanero Tequila — bright citrus and habanero heat lift smoky seafood with a crisp, fiery kick.

Grilled chicken + Convite Pechuga Mezcal — layered with subtle smoke, fruit, and savory depth that brings simple grilled chicken somewhere new.
