Astraea Ocean Gin is a distinctive spirit that captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest coastline, where the lush evergreens meet the vast ocean. This gin, crafted by Astraea Spirits in Seattle, embodies the clarity of the Pacific with a unique and memorable profile. While made in the tradition of a London Dry, Astraea Ocean Gin forges its own path with botanicals that celebrate the flora of its home region.
This gin offers a captivating sensory experience, beginning with a clean brininess on the nose, immediately evoking the fresh sea air. This maritime quality translates to a full and satisfying mouthfeel, leading to a warm and lingering finish. The core of this gin features a generous amount of juniper, the defining botanical of the category. This is beautifully complemented by the warm, sweet spice of cassia and a subtle hint of salt, creating a nuanced and inviting character.
Beyond these dominant notes, Astraea Ocean Gin is carefully distilled with a selection of other botanicals, including coriander seed, which provides a spicy, grassy citrus note, angelica root for sweet, floral and earthy undertones, bright lemon and orange peel, fragrant cardamom, orris root for smoothness, and a touch of licorice. Uniquely, this gin also features seaweed, contributing to its signature briny character and connection to the ocean. Astraea Spirits was founded by Danielle Leavell, a Master Distiller with a background in brewing and distilling from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, making this woman-owned and operated distillery a true artisan endeavor.
