Caley is responsible for overseeing all phases of our production. She is one of a handful of female distillers to lead operations for a major American spirits brand. Caley joins us from Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, where she quickly worked her way up under Head Distiller Rob Dietrich’s wing. Caley immersed herself in every aspect of the production process, from the sourcing of grains to distillation and bottling. As she leads Hangar 1 Vodka into its next phase, Caley is excited to test out limited batches and new flavors of vodka with the hangar’s pilot still. Caley describes herself as a “spirits nerd” and is fascinated by how the chemistry of distilling affects the quality, texture and flavor of the final product. She is endlessly inspired by the area’s abundant seasonal ingredients. When she’s not visiting local farmers’ markets, Caley can be found honing her photography skills or experimenting with new cocktail recipes.
Straight is a special blend of distilled grains and California wine grapes. Our flavored varieties are made using only natural flavors and a painstakingly, unique infusion process. Our Alameda distillery uses copper pot stills with two reflux columns custom made for Hangar 1 so that Caley can run the appropriate batch size to achieve the highest quality distillation possible for a crisp fresh tasting vodka.
We only source ingredients when the season is just right. It’s how we produce the freshest tasting vodka.
Note: This program focuses on Straight and Madarin and DOES NOT focus on Fog Point. Fog Point is made from "Fog" all the other Vodkas are made from Grains, Grapes and Fresh Spring Water.
Browse VodkasIn 2001 Hangar 1 was established in a WWII aircraft hangar on the Alameda Naval Air Station, a space we still call our home today. The red biplane symbol is a nod to our history and we are named for the Hangar we are created in, Hangar 1. Hangar 1 is our hub of innovation and where we use the freshest ingredients, in fact we are upgrading our space a bit and will be ready for tours, tastings and much more later this year so if you’re in area be sure to some and visit us.
