About this Event

About our featured distilleries:
Woman-owned and women distilled, Oregon distillery Freeland Spirits creates ‘grain to glass’ expressions that celebrate all the Northwest has to offer. Freeland sources their grains and botanicals in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, distilling their spirits in the capital of small craft, Portland. Their current portfolio includes American gin, bourbon, and rye.
Freeland's fresh flavors come from a process like no other. A traditional copper pot sill, lovingly named Hellbitch, works along side their singular and best-in-class cold vacuum macerator. This dual distillation yields spirits that are brighter and more vibrant and allows the distilling team to use fresh herbs in their creation. Fresh herbs would be cooked and die in traditional distilling, so most commercially produced spirits are made with essences. In the Freeland Spirits process, the delicate flavors of the botanicals are maintained, resulting in beautifully fragrant and delicious spirits.
Named after the famed scenic drive that winds its way through the heart of San Francisco, San Francisco Distilling Co's bourbons encapsulate the city's spirit and history.
Their small batch "Forty Nine Mile Bourbon" is a four barrel blend aged for 7 years on the Mendocino coast, a unique microclimate that contributes to the bourbon's maturation and incredible vanilla and oak notes. Their gin expression, "Forty Below California Gin" (2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold winner), uses a proprietary combination of distillery grown and local botanicals for a flavorful spirit perfect in long drinks and cocktails.
