New Raspberry Vodka Now Available

This season's Hangar One Fraser River Raspberry Vodka is now available in the distillery for both tasting and purchase.

If you've never tried it before, our vodka is made with Meeker raspberries from the Fraser River Valley in upper Washington State. It has a bright pink color, fresh berry bouquet, and a vibrant raspberry flavor.

 

About St. George Spirits Absinthe Verte

St. George Spirits Absinthe Verte is made with fine brandy, star anise, mint, wormwood, lemon balm, hyssop, meadowsweet, basil, fennel, tarragon and stinging nettles. This infamous liquor reveals seductive flavors of anise complimented with sweet grassy tones, light citrus, white pepper, and light menthol notes.

We offer free tours of the distillery on Saturdays and Sundays at 1pm. While you're here, do a tasting, or lounge outside and enjoy the view. Yes, you may bring food. No, you may not pet the oompah loompahs.

New Single Malt Whiskey Release

Lot number 7 of our St. George Single Malt Whiskey is now available! Older and more sophisticated than our previous release, this edition is a hallmark in the evolution of our whiskey.

In lot 7, the voice has deepened, feels more grown up, yet there are more high notes and sweetness present than in lot 6. There's cocoa, hints of delicate smoke and dry spice in the front of the palate, finishing with lingering cinnamon– soft, warm, and lovely.

Company founder and master distiller Jörg Rupf shares some background on the development of whiskey:

Our concept for the whiskey is based on our philosophy of fruit eau de vie making, which is to showcase the qualities of the ingredients used in distillation. For the whiskey, we try to weave them together into a complex picture. Different roast levels of the barley, different types of oak, a small and measured amount of hardwood smoked malt, all contribute to that complexity. We are consciously staying away from peat, because it really has no particular connection to California and because of its sometimes-overwhelming impact on the flavor profile. There are plenty of really good Scottish examples of peated malts available. This is unique. This is St. George Spirits Single Malt whiskey
