A Classic Northwest American Gin

If you’ve been looking for something that puts a fresh new twist on the classic American gin, look no further than Red Fern. Made from organic wheat, pure local spring water and native botanicals, Red Fern is refined, civilized and elegant with just a hint of Western wild. Low in juniper, its bright, lively citrus and floral notes breathe a breath of fresh mountain air into any classic preparation.
