St. George Spirits Terroir Gin is a forest-driven, earthy California gin built around a sense of place a profoundly aromatic gin conveying the monumental tree groves, misty glens, and sun-baked chaparral of the distillery’s favorite local parklands, with Douglas fir, California bay laurel, and coastal sage carrying through.

St. George Spirits was established in 1982 in Alameda, California one of the pioneering craft distilleries of the modern American spirits movement. Terroir is its most place-driven gin: rather than chasing a London Dry juniper-and-citrus signature, it pulls aromatics from the Pacific Coast wild landscape for a woodsy, herbaceous gin that performs across the full cocktail range.
