Specific molecules + more specific molecules = award-winning Japanese Whiskey-inspired Spirit. Simple math!

What is Whiskey, really? Besides being a liquid dear to our hearts, Whiskey is hundreds or thousands of molecules. Made in the historic neighborhood of Dogpatch in San Francisco, California, Glyph is the world’s first molecular Spirit. Forget about the rule book of distilling and aging, these guys go straight to the root to make their Whiskey. The root being literal molecules. After they map out the exact flavor profile they desire, they source molecules directly from plants and yeasts: esters from fruit, sugars from cane and corn, and acids from citrus and wood. This is called note-by-note production. Hand-bottling their Spirits in small batches, Glyph Spirits are not just insanely delicious, they are also made with 94% less water and 92% less agricultural land use than your traditional Whiskey. Plus, they emit 87% less CO₂ emissions. Great new for our taste buds AND our planet.

Glyph 85H is the world’s first molecular Spirit that was inspired by Japanese Whiskey. It says hello with delicate aromas of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts before the medium-bodied and complex palate develops with flavors of wood, and spice. On the finish? A hint of black fruits that are rounded up by bold and earthy notes. A fan of Japanese Whiskeys or not, this one is hard not to love and the judges at the 2022 SIP Awards agree as they awarded it Gold.
