Description
That classic T-shirt you have had forever and can’t get rid of because you still remember where you were and what you were doing. No matter how worn it gets the better it gets. A gin that screams, Extra dirty like the Pacific after a storm has tossed spray onto those shoreline houses. Old man in the lighthouse. Salty, bearded, weathered, Dry.
Distilling
Southward Distilling doesn't start out by trying to make a great gin. They start out trying to tell a story. Beginning, middle and end. Their core method is pot distilling with a complimentary aspect of vapour and infusion at times. Their 300L pot still Kay, named after their founders Grandma, is the beating heart of our story. Done in small batches, they produce craft gin that is beautifully wild.
About

Their name, Southward, is a code to family and tradition. Named after a family fishing boat led by a strong man, with not all his fingers by the end of it. Going out to sea, coming home, and having a drink with your family. Only to create a memory.
