INFO

A myth in the making the pacific northwest is both our home and our muse. We make gins that celebrate the flora of our region , distilled to capture the essence of each wild botanical. Although made in the tradition of London dry , Astraea was forged where the evergreens give way to the rolling meadows , where the jagged mountain ranges drop into the sea. Meet us here, wherever you are.

SOFT AND FLORAL, MEADOW CELEBRATES A SUNNY DAY AMONGST THE PNW MOUNTAIN FLOWERS. NOTES OF BRIGHT CITRUS CARRY THROUGH TO THE FLORAL AROMAS OF LEMON VERBENA AND CHAMOMILE TO A SLIGHTLY SWEET, HONEYSUCKLE FINISH. REFRESHING AS A GNT, STUNNING IN A FRENCH 75 OR A CLASSIC MARTINI WITH A LEMON TWIST.

90 Proof (ABV 45%)

THE DISTILLERY

The Astraea journey starts with passion. A passion for botanicals, a love of this place we call home, devotion to the perfection of craft and for you, our customer, an appreciation of peerless spirits produced through mastery of every part of the process.

To make Astraea spirits, we find the best Pacific Northwest botanicals, and use them in meticulously crafted gins. Our founder, Danielle Leavell, MSc, is one of a handful of female distillers in the US trained in traditional brewing and distilling methods, and it’s her touch that ensures the perfect balance that characterizes Astraea gins. 

For all those who choose our products, we welcome you to the experience of Astraea. We invite you to be part of a community – to relish the ritual, to discover something new, and to share Astraea in celebration of life’s special moments, both large and small. 

Enjoy!
