Glyph

Glyph are scientists, creatives and entrepreneurs pioneering a new process of spirit-making called note-by-note production.

In 2015, Co-founder Mardonn came across a Napa Valley Chardonnay that changed the way he thought about fine wines & spirits forever. This particular vintage, due to its age and pedigree, had become too valuable to open. As a scientist, he asked himself: was it possible to create the same renowned wine without conventional production methods?

Mardonn joined forces with Alec, a fellow scientist and renegade spirit, and Josh, a sommelier with a knack for unconventional ideas. What began as an obsession with the molecular components of wine turned into an exploration of spirits, too. Our first challenge was to create a high-quality whiskey using a fraction of the usual resources: a smooth, sophisticated whiskey that sips like it’s been stored away for years, despite having never seen the inside of a barrel.

Our journey begins with spirits, but our passion for innovation reminds us that the horizon is endless.
