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.
MIST IS REFLECTIVE OF THE PNW’S BRIGHT, CRISP AIR ON A COLD WINTER’S DAY. IT PERFORMS BEAUTIFULLY AS A DRY MARTINI AND AS A GNT WITH A SPRIG OF ROSEMARY AND A GRAPEFRUIT SLICE. MIST IS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL BALANCED WITH A LIGHT TOUCH OF JUNIPER.Â

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.Â
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.Â
Enjoy!
