R6 Distillery and Seth Benhaim Introduce “Stock Exchange Club of Los Angeles”: A Vintage Label Single Barrel, Cask Strength Whiskey Line.
R6 Distillery in El Segundo, California, recently announced the release of a brand-new whiskey line, the “Stock Exchange Club of Los Angeles,” featuring single barrel, cask strength whiskeys. This whiskey comes from select stocks of the distillery’s 2019 and older barrels, marking a new project under the guidance of Seth Benhaim, Strategic Advisor and Director of Business Development for the distillery.
Benhaim, known for his innovative work with Broken Barrel Whiskey, is recognized for his unique approach to barrel aging. His development of the “Stock Exchange Club of Los Angeles” project represents his first independent whiskey launch since creating Broken Barrel. His role includes overseeing the selection process of both barrels and buyers alike – finding perfect pairs, and providing operational consultation, ensuring direct involvement from production through to each barrel’s release.
The whiskey is predominantly available through a limited number of online retailers and whiskey clubs, including Drammer’s Club, Taster’s Club, Blind Barrels, and Great American Craft Spirits, among others. Available barrel options include whiskey aged a minimum of five years, Blue Corn Bourbon, Single Malt, Bourbon, and Rye. The whiskey released in 2024 will all have been distilled, aged and bottled in El Segundo, just one mile from the Pacific Ocean.
R6 DISTILLERY, founded by Rob Rubens, is a veteran-owned business that places a strong emphasis on community engagement. R6 is also recognized as “LA’s First Bourbon®”, i.e. the first legal Bourbon in Los Angeles, making the distillery an obvious match for the historic label. Rubens was the master distiller at the time for all barrels being offered for the Stock Exchange Club of Los Angeles.
