Wishkah River Distillery Bulfinch 83 Gin

by | Dec 5, 2014

Aberdeen, Washington plays home to Wishkah River Distillery (“Legal Since 2010”) as well as to its founders, who trace their Aberdeen ancestry back five generations. Many of said ancestors cultivated a family tradition of distilling, reflected today in Wishkah River’s small fleet of spirits.

Bulfinch 83 Gin starts off from Wishkah River’s proprietary neutral grain base, which is redistilled with a London Dry-ish mix of botanicals, left unfiltered and bottled at 83 proof. The spirit’s mellow natural sweetness, derived from the locally sourced grains, is preceded by an herbaceous floral aroma and flavor at first sip, offset by a smooth wave of fresh, piney juniper throughout, and the lightest notes of citrus and spice to the finish.
