Dry Fly Gin

Distilled in a 450-liter Christian Carl pot still manufactured in Goppingen, Germany, Dry Fly Gin is handcrafted by Don Poffenroth and Kent Fleischmann, the master distillers at Dry Fly Distilling. After training in distillery operation withAlexander Plank and Nick Haasein Germany, Don and Kent opened the doors of Dry Fly Distillery in 2007, making it the first legal distillery in Washington state since Prohibition. Don and Kent have embraced a grains-to-glass approach to craft distilling they use only locally-sourced grains and botanicals grown at sustainable farms. Their commitment to sustainable farming is reflected in the gin's recipe which calls for juniper, coriander, lavender, Eastern Washington soft winter wheat, mint, dried Fuji apples and hops. This unique recipe gives the gin an apple and honeysuckle nose and a sweet, well-balanced flavor. This balance means that the gin makes for an unusually sublime martini garnished with either lemon peels or olives. The recipe also earned Dry Fly Gin the Silver Medal at the Micro Liquor Spirits Awards in 2011 and the Gold Medal at the New York World Wine & Spirit Competition the same year.
