Description
Home Base Spirits was founded by twins Alexandra and Samantha Blatteis, who were born and raised in Oakland—their home base. In 2011, the sisters were first inspired to start Home Base when touring a distillery that emphasized whiskey not just as a libation, but as an agricultural product that could support local farms. After years of research at local distilleries and small family farms, distilling coursework and studies, and through the founding of a women’s whiskey club, the Blatteises officially launched Home Base Spirits in 2015. They partner with bay area farmers to source grains and then utilize bay area distilleries to make their whiskey to create their own blends. They then mature and blend themselves at their facility.
