The Gin
88 Proof · 44% ABV · 750ml
Built for Pacific Northwest cocktails. The cucumber is subtle and keeps the finish cool. The juniper carries through the chill. A Martini is the honest test.

The Bridge
The Gallon House Bridge is a covered bridge on the Abiqua Creek, about five miles north of our distillery. It was built in 1917 and still stands. During Prohibition, locals traded bootleg moonshine there by the gallon. The bridge gave us the name.
We named the gin after that bridge because the same swagger pours out of every bottle. That backwoods nerve still runs through every pour. Enjoy a glass and you'll be closer to that bridge than you think.
What It Is
Gallon House Gin is distilled on-site at Abiqua Spirit Distillery. Juniper leads the botanical bill. Rose and coriander sit behind it. Citrus opens the nose. A touch of cucumber keeps the finish cool. Every bottle is brought together, labeled, and packed by hand in Silverton.
This gin is built for the cocktails we actually pour here. A Classic Gin Martini with a lemon twist. A Gimlet with fresh lime. A Bee's Knees when the valley bees have had a good year. The juniper carries through the chill. The rose and coriander come out on the finish. The cucumber keeps the whole thing cool.
Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020. We took it as a signal that the approach was working. The second signal is whether the person who opens the bottle pours a second drink.
