California Agave | Toro Creek Ranck

Release Date: 8/5/26

Just five miles from the Pacific Ocean on California's Central Coast, Toro Creek Ranch is a family-owned working ranch where three generations of the Armstrong family live, farm, and steward the land. Since purchasing the ranch in 1978, the family has cultivated cattle, oranges, avocados, and now Agave Tequilana, embracing sustainable agriculture while preserving the wild character of the property.

Bordered by Los Padres National Forest, the ranch is home to deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, mountain lions, and black bears. Warm coastal days, cool fog-filled nights, and a secluded riparian canyon create an ideal environment for growing exceptional agave. Every piña reflects the unique terroir of California's Central Coast, carrying the character of the land into every bottle.

Through our partnership with the Armstrong family, Shelter Distilling is proud to transform this remarkable harvest into a spirit that honors both California's agricultural heritage and the future of American craft agave.
