Our Gins

Crater Lake Prohibition Gin

What is Prohibition Gin? Inspired by those American gins from 100 years ago that were strong and unpretentious, think speakeasy swagger in a bottle. This bold, no-nonsense gin harks back to the rule-breaking revelry of the Roaring Twenties. Originally crafted by the hands of rebels and mavericks—the kind who leave their mark on the world—Crater Lake Prohibition Gin infuses that rebellious spirit into every distinctive bottle.

Tasting Notes

Call it Prohibition-style, compound, infused, or bathtub, this type of gin was prevalent in the United States during Prohibition when distilling had to be small, nimble, and hard to find. This style also created some of the most notable gin cocktails we still enjoy today. We use wild, handpicked juniper berries from Oregon’s high desert to craft a single botanical recreation of these lost gins. The result is juniper-forward and complex, with a rich, pleasingly creamy mouthfeel.

Crater Lake Reserve Dry Gin

If our Prohibition Gin is a nod to the speakeasy, then Crater Lake's Reserve Dry Gin is the standout of cocktail hour—like Hemingway or Don Draper. We were just jazzing things up a bit, trying on some sophistication. And you know what? It worked. We crafted a dry gin that really stands out from our contemporaries. Sure, we hoped gin would up our cool factor. Turns out, it just made us great at making gin.

Tasting Notes

Dry style gins have long been synonymous with London. But the many new American dry gins have redefined the dry gin paradigm. Crater Lake Reserve Dry Gin is one of those. We weave together grapefruit, orange peel, coriander, and whole berry wild juniper to create a citrus forward New American Dry Gin that is refreshing, crisp, and innovative.
