Death's Door Gin

Death's Door Gin

Another arrival from the US, where specialist gins made in microdistilleries across the country have really invigorated what was a previously moribund category. Death's Door is made with organic red winter wheat on Washington Island in Wisconsin, and has been bottled at a higher-than-usual strength, so use a bit less or add more tonic.

Distillery Information

Death's Door Spirits began back in 2005, in part as an experiment, when a group of people began trying to start farming on the island once more swapping potatoes for wheat. Brothers Tom and Ken Koyen had enough seed to plant five acres, and this grain is used in all of Death's Door Spirits today. The company's new state of the art craft distillery was opened in June 2012, and is the largest craft distillery in Wisconsin, as well as being one of the biggest in the region.
