Old Tom Gin

This Old Tom Gin is a historically accurate revival of the predominant Gin in fashion during the mid 1800's and the golden age of American cocktails. The recipe was developed in collaboration with historian, author, and mixologist extraordinaire David Wondrich. Old Tom is the Gin for mixing classic cocktails dating from the days before prohibition. It's subtle maltiness is the result of using a base wort of malted barley, combined with an infusion of botanicals in high proof corn spirits. The final distilation is run through an alambic pot still in order to preserve the maximum amount of aromatics, flavor and body. Only the "heart of the hearts" (the very best portion of distillate) is retained for this special bottling.


Small's Gin

An Oregon spirit handmade in small-pot batches using naturally-farmed and wild-grown botanicals. Intensely aromatic from a complex infusion of Juniper, orange, lemon, coriander, cardamom, angelica, caraway, star anise, and respberry. Small's gin brings together a combination of recipes from the 19th century with obsessive distillation techniques and the finest regional ingredients. The best of tradition, dedication to quality and innovation come together to create a remarkable, elaborate and unrivaled spirit.


GewÜrztraminer Grappa

Made using lightly pressed Gewürztraminer pomace, this grappa has fruity and soft aromatics and is extremely smooth on the palate. This is a spirit of the highest possible quality. Only the "heart of the hearts" (the absolute, very best portion of distillate) from each still is kept for this bottling. Pleasent to sniff and easy to drink, the result is a product which defies the fiery, harsh and hard to drink stereotype of traditional grappas. Serve straight up as a digestif following meals, mixes with coffee or espresso, or as an accompaniment to fine cigars.


pinot noir aquavitae

PINOT NOIR AQUAVITAE

Rich, smooth and complex, with the varietal aromatics and flavors of Willamette Pinot Noir. This is a spirit of the highest possible quality. "Whole Berry" distillation with only the "Heart of Hearts" (the absolute very best part of the distillate) of each still run kept and used for this bottling.

Forward fruit of bright cherry and berries lead into a rich and complex nose, layered with plum, leather, black pepper and barrel toast. Similar flavors follow into a creamy and smooth palate, finishing with a delicate balance of fruit and oak.
