View All (7)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.
26 February 2026The 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.
9 February 2026No 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.
