St. George Spirits was founded as an eau de vie distillery in 1982 by Jorg Rupf. Needing great amounts of space for the operation, the company was set up in a hangar at the old Alameda Naval Air Station[4]. The distillery first began producing vodka in 2001 with the aid of Ansley Coale from Germain-Robin[5]. The distillery is open to the public for tours and tastings, and is a popular San Francisco event location.[6]
Hangar One Vodka is made by St. George Spirits and the brand is owned and distributed by Proximo Spirits of Jersey City, NJ.
The Mandarin Blossom flavour received a score of "96-100" in 2011, while the unflavored vodka was given a score of "90-95" in that same year.[7]
