Head & Tails: Cask
Posted on December 14, 2008
Filed Under Head & Tails, SOMA
Head & Tails is where we spill it all about the area’s nearest and dearest brewpubs, bars, wine cellars, tasting rooms, package stores, liquor aisles, and well, we ARE thorough. Up or over, shaken or stirred, we’re looking for the best bets to quench your thirst.
Think you’re familiar with the liquor store formula? Think you know all your premium single malts from your ryes? Well, think again. The booze-friendly team behind the Tenderloin speak-easy Bourbon and Branch are about to school you. Enter Cask. In a market that is becoming increasingly more conscious of the independent and artisanal offerings, Cask would like to introduce you to the smart and sophisticated world of [gasp] artisanal distillers. From their single-batch bourbons to select Sonoma County wines, they don’t carry anything that hasn’t been hand-selected and personally tasted. Think of it as them having already done the dirty work for you. (Not that I would be complaining.) And for the at-home mixologist, Cask also carries a comprehensive collection of bar tools and reference books. With the experts at Cask hard at work on refining your palette, the only thing left for you to work on improving is your tolerance.
Cask is located at 17 Third Street, at Market, in San Francisco. 415.424.4844.

This place is the shiznit. I went in to check their single malt selection and it is esoteric to say the least. They featured a number of eccentric expressions of well-known distillers, some rarities I had not seen this side of the pond and some I had never even heard of. I left happy with a finished whiskey I had never heard of and will return for the bottle of Scapa I was originally after. Nice shop.
