Description

Bright, bold, and herbaceous—Freeland 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 that’s 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. It’s softly warming without harsh bite, leaving a clean herbal impression. 🌟 Identity & Reception A Mediterranean-style gin made from 14 botanicals, combining fresh Pacific Northwest herbs with classic gin spices for vibrancy and nuance. Reviews praise its bold botanical presence, ideal in stirred classics like negronis and Gibsons. It’s crisp and expressive—but may not suit citrus-heavy cocktails like G&Ts. Frequently highlighted for its strong flavor and balanced spice, and often cited as best sipped neat or in savory cocktails. 🍸 Suggested Pairings & Cocktails Gibson or Dirty Martini: The herbal and piney profile shines with briny Vermouth and olive garnish. Minimalist Herb Cocktail: Combine with dry vermouth and a sprig of rosemary or thyme to highlight forest-forward aromatics. Neat with a single large ice cube: Brings out garden-fresh clarity and lingering spice. 🧾 Snapshot Summary Feature Description ABV 45% (90-proof) Aromatics Cucumber, mint, rosemary, citrus, juniper Palate Herbaceous, cinnamon-spice, pine, citrus zest Texture Smooth, medium-bodied, herb-driven Finish Dry, clean herbal-spice fade Best Feature Bright, complex botanical synergy with bold Northwest flair
