St. George Terroir Gin

St. George Terroir Gin hails from Alameda, California, where St. George Spirits, founded in 1982, stands as one of America's original craft distilleries. This gin is a love letter to the Golden State's wild beauty, specifically inspired by the aromas of Mount Tamalpais. It's not an old classic, but rather a modern gin that showcases the distillery's innovative approach. St. George is known for its creative and category-defying spirits, and Terroir Gin is a prime example, using locally foraged Douglas fir, California bay laurel, and coastal sage to create its distinctive, forest-like profile. Interestingly, the Douglas fir is sometimes harvested as part of fire abatement programs, adding an environmentally conscious note to its story. Master Distiller Lance Winters, who once submitted a homemade whiskey as his resume, is a key figure behind the brand's imaginative spirits.

St. George Terroir Gin brings a distinct taste of the California wilderness to your home bar, with pronounced notes of Douglas fir, coastal sage, and a hint of bay laurel. This spirit truly shines in a simple Gin and Tonic, allowing its woodsy, herbaceous character to come through, or in a classic Martini where its unique botanicals can take center stage.

St. George Terroir Gin offers a walk through a forest with its aroma of Douglas fir, pine, and bay laurel. The palate is fresh and crisp, echoing those woodsy notes with added coastal sage and a hint of citrus. Its finish is long and evocative, with lingering herbaceous and citrus notes.
