While on a fishing trip along the scenic Gallatin River, two marketing executives hatched an idea of putting the natural beauty and purity of the Northwest into a bottle. The brainchild of that fishing trip was Spokane, Wash.-based Dry Fly Distilling, which produces premium, small batch vodka and gin using only locally grown grains and botanicals. The first craft distillery in the state of Washington since Prohibition, the distillery incorporates sustainable ingredients into its Dry Fly Washington Dry Gin and Dry Fly Washington Wheat Vodka, such as Washington malted barley and pure Spokane water. The distillery plans to launch a whiskey in 2009.

Take a sip of Juniper Green Organic London Dry Gin and you are tasting history, this is the world's first, and only, organic gin.

The Soil Association, the premier authority responsible for certifying all things organic in the UK, has certified that Juniper Green is 100% organic. It contains absolutely nothing but the world's finest organic grain, the purest water and a combination of 100% organic botanical herbs sourced from around the world.

Organic grain creates fine alcohol naturally because it has a better biological cell structure than grain grown with chemical fertilisers. No chemical fungicides are used to assist in the storage of Organic Grain resulting in natural microorganisms which aid full and deep fermentation.

As a result Juniper Green has a smooth clean spirit which is the perfect foundation for the world's first Organic Gin.

The organic botanicals sourced from around the world are distilled to a special recipe to give Juniper Green its unique flavour.

In 1519, five ships led by Ferdinand de Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world and explore the "spice islands". Three years later, only the ship Victoria returned to Spain, with 18 people and several barrels of cloves. Sadly, Magellan, who died in battle during the voyage, never saw the results of his spice discoveries. Those spices inspired the creation of Gin as we now know it, and it is cloves in particular, that Magellan Gin owes its unrivaled taste.

Magellan Gin is handcrafted using the finest natural exoctic botanicals from around the globe.

Gin - The Dutch invented it, the English refined it, the New World glamorised it, and now Martin Miller's has perfected it. Complex, sophisticated, well packaged and well travelled.

Martin Miller's Gin is distilled outside London using over eight botanicals and aromatics. Then it is sent to Iceland to be blended with the softest and purest Icelandic spring water, where one more ingredient is added. This is the secret ingredient not even known to the master distiller. Packaged in a high quality, super clear glass bottle it is eye-catching with great bar stand out quality.

Mr. Boston Riva London Dry Gin 80 proof. Clear. Moderately light-bodied. The aromas are marked by a fruity, citrus peel character.

The texture is quite straightforward, although there are high-toned fruity flavors that will cut through mixers.
