Founded by Andrew Borenzweig, an entrepreneur and whiskey enthusiast from Los Angeles, Beverly Spirits is his vision to create a new style of American whiskey, offering an exceptional sipping experience designed to elevate the modern enjoyment occasion. Its ethos is rooted in the effortless luxury that defines the Los Angeles lifestyle.
Andrew partnered with Cedar Ridge Distillery to bring the whiskey to life. Cedar Ridge’s legacy, passion, and shared commitment to the finest quality are evident in every sip. Each batch of our whiskeys are blended and bottled at Cedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher, Iowa.
Andrew and Cedar Ridge’s Head Distiller, Murphy Quint, worked closely to create a recipe harnessing the best of both rye and bourbon, perfecting the balance between the spiciness of rye and richness of bourbon after years of refinement.
They embraced a rigorous process culminating on an Iowa summer day in Barrel Shed #7 at Cedar Ridge. Through exhaustive tastings, they crafted blend after blend by hand — evaluating each at cask strength, and then at different proofs — before unlocking the ultimate recipe.
Our award-winning recipe features a majority of rye in its mash bill, blended using straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys hand selected from Cedar Ridge, complemented by a curated selection of the same from Indiana.
Offering bright baking spices on the palate, a rich, full body, and a sweet, smooth finish, The Beverly High Rye achieves a bold and complex profile while delivering a smooth, inviting experience that has been recognized with over five Gold Medals at premier competitions worldwide.
We are committed to a sustainable future. Beverly Spirits is an official partner of Trees for the Future in the fight against climate change, food insecurity and poverty.
The Beverly High Rye is aged in barrels made from American oak, trees that are often between 80 and 100 years old before they are turned into barrels. Using these trees enables us to make whiskey, which is why it is our mission to plant one tree for every bottle that we sell.
Trees are lost at a rate of over 50 soccer fields per minute. With over 250 million trees planted, Trees for the Future’s Forest Garden approach provides a sustainable solution that supports impoverished farmers in Senegal, Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
For every bottle sold, one tree is planted, four lbs. of CO2 are removed, four lbs. of organic produce are created, and sixteen square feet of land are restored through our partnership.
