Bright, bold, and herbaceousFreeland Spirits Gin is garden-fresh in a bottle, crafted by women, powered by Pacific Northwest magic, and made to shake up your next martini.

Origin & Philosophy

Freeland Spirits is a proudly woman-owned and operated distillery known for blending Pacific Northwest freshness with modern craft techniques. Their flagship Dry Gin (45% ABV) uses both copper pot still and gentle vacuum distillation to preserve delicate botanicals like cucumber, mint, rosemary, and thyme alongside classic dried spices.

Aroma (Nose)

Expect a lively, herbaceous bouquet: fresh cucumber and garden herbs like mint and rosemary lead, with hints of grapefruit, lemon peel, spruce, and spiced juniper. Floral and green notes round out the upfront intensity.

Flavor & Body

• Flavor: Piney juniper anchors layers of mulled spices, pink peppercorn, star anise, coriander, and salal berry. Citrus zest provides brightness alongside mint, thyme, and herbal freshness.

• Texture: Smooth and layered, with a balanced body thats slightly vegetal and minty but avoids heaviness. Offers both structure and lift.

Finish

Lingering and herbal, the finish echoes citrus peel, green spice, and forest-like juniper. Its softly warming without harsh bite, leaving a clean herbal impression.
