Too Pine-Forward
The Douglas fir is intense at 45% ABV — almost like drinking pine sap. The bay laurel and sage add interest but the overwhelming resinous character isn't for everyone. An impressive technical achievement but not my idea of gin.

Douglas Fir Intensity
The Douglas fir dominates beautifully — intense, piney, resinous. At 45% ABV the warm savoury bay laurel and earthy bitter sage provide depth. This is a New Western gin of real conviction and character.

Terroir Perfected
No other gin captures its landscape as completely as St. George Terroir. The Douglas fir, bay laurel, coastal sage, and coriander seed at 45% ABV are the Mt. Tamalpais hillside distilled. The long resinous finish is magnificent.

America's Most Original Gin
St. George Terroir is a masterpiece of place. Douglas fir resin, California bay laurel, coastal sage, and supportive juniper at 45% create a gin that's genuinely unlike anything else. The long, mentholated, resinous finish is unforgettable. The most original gin in America — possibly the world.

Savoury and Herbaceous
The savoury quality from bay laurel and coastal sage sets St. George Terroir apart from sweeter, more floral gins. At 45% ABV the mentholated freshness is persistent and the dry herbal finish is deeply satisfying.

Northern California in a Glass
St. George Terroir is a forest walk in gin form. Intense Douglas fir resin, warm bay laurel, dusty coastal sage, and secondary juniper at 45% ABV. The long, resinous finish with lingering mentholated freshness is extraordinary.

A Walk Through Mt. Tamalpais
If you've ever hiked through Northern California forests, this gin will transport you there. The Douglas fir, bay laurel, and coastal sage at 45% ABV are vivid and authentic. The underlying juniper grounds everything perfectly.
