R6 Bourbon Whiskey

The story of the R6 Distillery begins with one Rob Rubens becoming disillusioned after nearly a decade of working in corporate America. After taking a tour of the Old New Orleans Rum Distillery he was captivated by the idea of starting a small and family-owned distillery and bringing quality spirits to Los Angeles. This is how the R6 Distillery and Speakeasy, situated in LAs suburb of El Segundo, came to be.Rob turned to his family history for inspiration. The name "R6" comes from six Ruben brothers, Robs ancestors, who opened the Rubens Rialto Theatre in Joliet, Illinois in 1926. This entrepreneurship that runs in the family, as well as the stories he heard of the theatre operating in the Roaring Twenties and during the days of The Prohibition, played a great part in his decision to start R6. Today they produce over a dozen craft spirits, continuing Robs vision of striving for greatness.The award-winning R6 Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the first bourbon to be legally produced in Los Angeles. Crafted from a mash bill of yellow corn, rye, and malted barley, its a well-balanced and smooth American classic that is bottled at 86 proof and has notes of vanilla, caramel, citrus, and spice.Get your bottle today!
