Caley Shoemaker

Hangar 1 Vodka
Head Distiller
Alameda, CA

A Denver native, Caley was born with a creative spirit and was drawn to her hometown’s dynamic beverage scene. After spending years studying the art of distillation and earning her stripes in the world of whiskey, Caley now leads Hangar 1 Vodka into its next phase of its lauded history, while joining the elite group of female head distillers of an American spirits brand. Caley is endlessly inspired by the area’s abundant seasonal, local ingredients and is looking forward to continuing Hangar 1 Vodka’s tradition of producing a well-crafted spirit that showcases the natural essence of the finest fruit available.
