50 Fathoms Gin

london dry. alaska delicious.

We distill 50 Fathoms Gin in the painstaking, Old World, London Dry style and give it a Southeast Alaska twist with hand-harvested local spruce tips, whole juniper berries, cinnamon, and coriander. (That unique citrus finish comes from tangerines grown in our family grove in California; if Alaska was warm enough, we’d grow them here.) The result of this delicious mash-up is a bold yet balanced gin you can enjoy in a spruce tip old-fashioned, or with top-shelf tonic.

Icy Strait Vodka

it’s not what we put in. it’s what we take out.

Bottled at a robust “Alaskan strength” 90 proof, Icy Strait Vodka is a smooth sipping spirit. We blend it with pure local water, pour it into a bottle labeled with an octopus, and there you have it: an exceptionally clean, flavorful vodka with just a hint of sweetness imparted by the corn it’s distilled from. Icy Strait Vodka is the perfect canvas for your favorite cocktail. Or simply enjoy it “icy straight.”

Green Siren Absinthe

surrender to the mermaid.

Once feared by authorities and furtively sought by libertines everywhere, absinthe is suddenly respectable and available, but no less lovely and intriguing. And ours, if we may say so, is especially delicious. Based on a recipe from the 1700s, Green Siren takes a fair bit of time to make, because we don’t take shortcuts. We skip the artificial color and sugar syrup, and, instead, soak not once but twice with herbs that grow beautifully in Southeast Alaska, including wormwood, lemon balm, and anise hyssop.

Once it takes on its distinctive light-licorice flavor and magical jade hue, we strain it, bottle it, and make it available to you. Imbibe it in the classic ritual, with sugar cube, spoon, and ice-cold water. Or enjoy it in an innovative cocktail, or simply on the rocks. Green Siren won’t make you hallucinate, but it may nicely adjust your attitude.

Boatwright
Bourbon

when the clouds roll in, so does the flavor.

Made by hand in Southeast Alaska. With a touch of Kentucky. Crafted with the same attention to detail that a boat-maker brings to his trade, Boatwright Bourbon is a blend of two Straight Bourbon Whiskeys: Our own recipe, made completely from grain-to-barrel in our small craft distillery in Southeast Alaska, and a finely-made Straight Bourbon Whiskey from our friends in Kentucky. The character is so unique, and so local, it’s like a postcard from Alaska. We worked hard to make this Boatwright Bourbon excellent. We hope you enjoy it.

Wrack Line Rye

go with the grain.

Before Prohibition, rye was America’s favorite whiskey. Today it’s being rediscovered, so, for your discovery, we submit Wrack Line Rye. With a mash bill of 70 percent rye grain, Wrack Line Rye has enough rye character and spice to announce its presence, yet is balanced enough to play well with others in a cocktail. It starts with our small batch grain- to-barrel distillations on site. After maturing on site for at least 3 years, we combine our rye barrels with a Straight Rye Whiskey made in the heart of U.S. Whiskey-country.

Seaworthy Rum

barrel aged to perfection.

Our golden barrel-aged rum boasts warm notes of toasted sugar and toffee. Our rum starts with small batched, kettle cooked sugarcane, in the form of certified organic panela sugar straight from the Caribbean. After the Rum has been distilled, we fill our freshly emptied Boatwright Bourbon barrels to age for 12 months. This spirit will transport you to the beach while looking at snowcapped mountains.

Agave de Alaska

tequila, alaska style

100% Blue Agave cooked, fermented, and distilled in small batches through our classic pot still in Haines, Alaska. If you like Tequila, you will love this smooth, flavorful spirit. Sip it neat, with lime and salt, or in a Margarita!

Limited Releases

Old School
Whiskey

barrel aged to perfection.

Our limited edition Old School Whiskey is light but rich and aged for three years in our Boatwright Bourbon barrels. This unique blend captures the spirit of the Last Frontier. We only release two barrels per year, which can be found in Haines and in rare amounts in Anchorage.

I love me a dirty martini, and this place makes the best I have ever had. I know it’s the quality of the vodka. This place is easily the best cocktails in town. Vibrant atmosphere and incredibly friendly people. Take their tour and you learn so much about distilling, the history of the region, and spruce tip creativity.

Fantastic distillery and bar. Great cocktails. Highly recommended place to go visit in Haines. They close and stop selling alcohol at 8pm because of Alaska state law.

Beautiful space, lovely bartender, delicious product. The photo might not be the best, but this is the best cocktail I have ever had. Show stopper! It was almost too beautiful to drink, but after taking a few luxurious nose-fulls of the glorious scent, it is one if the most balanced, fresh and glamorous cocktails I have had the pleasure of sipping. Great start to a vacation weekend. Cheers and Gunalchéesh!
