ABOUT Alexandra and Samantha Blatteis
Alexandra and Samantha Blatteis are twins born and raised in Oakland—their home base.
Ali Blatteis is a professional artist, a proud rescue hound owner, and the older twin. Her favorite way to drink bourbon is neat or with a beer back. It's a toss-up. Sam Blatteis is a local agriculture advocate, avid moviegoer, and part-time potter. She prefers to drink Home Base Spirits in traditional bourbon or tiki cocktails, ideally in front of a California coastal vista.
In 2011, the sisters were first inspired to start Home Base when touring a distillery that emphasized whiskey not just as a libation, but as an agricultural product that could support local farms. After years of research at local distilleries and small family farms, distilling coursework and studies, and through the founding a women's whiskey club, the Blatteises officially launched Home Base Spirits in 2015.
