Welcome to Prohibition Spirits. We are the spirited side of Wine Country and home of Sonoma’s first and only micro-distillery since prohibition.  We handcraft wine country inspired and influenced spirits like Hooker’s House Bourbon, Hooker’s House Rye, General’s 21 year-old Reserve and Private’s Select White Corn Whiskey.  Our Whiskeys are locally double-barrel aged and finished in neutral wine barrels.  We are rolling out “Sugar Daddy” Light, Amber and Dark rums for the Holidays.  We have sourced fabulous Caribbean rums and aged them locally in wine and our old Bourbon barrels.  Our early landing rums and wine barrel finished Whiskeys offer a unique alternative to wine country.

 The inspiration…

Hooker’s House Whiskeys honor the infamous General Joseph Hooker, a Civil War Veteran, Sonoma resident, lady’s man and whiskey aficionado. The bold and spicy character of our Whiskeys is matched by the General’s sometimes outrageous and overindulging lifestyle. General Hooker Lives on in Hooker’s House Bourbon, Rye, Reserve & Privates Select Whiskeys.

Sugar Daddy Rums honors the original  Sugar Daddy,  Adolf Spreckels, a sugar baron, industrial tycoon, Sonoma resident and the original Sugar Daddy.  The older sugar baron married the beautiful Alma May who was more than half his age and was quickly propelled into the wealth elite of San Francisco socialites.  She was heard calling out for her “Sugar Daddy” at their Sonoma mansion while roaming their estate with a cocktail in hand. We have scoured the Caribbean in search of exciting sugar cane rums that would meet the Sugar Barons exquisite taste.
