Death's Door Vodka employs a base of Washington Island wheat and malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. Death's Door Vodka is double-distilled and hand cut resulting in a spirit that's smooth and rich with subtle notes of vanilla. We feel it's the best in taste, flavor and mouth-feel for a domestic vodka.
Death's Door Gin has a surprisingly simple botanical mix of juniper berries, coriander and fennel. Using juniper berries that grow wild on Washington Island with coriander and fennel sourced in the region when available. Death's Door Gin is able to showcase how complementary and complex simple expressions can be. Death's Door Gin has a full London Dry flavor without all of the bitterness because of our extraction process and the base spirit we use (i.e., our vodka). In fact, you can taste all three botanicals: loaded juniper berries up front; spicy, citrusy notes from the coriander seeds in the mid-palate; and a soft, cooling finish provided by the fennel seeds. Death's Door Gin is big enough to stand up to classic or vintage cocktail treatment, but soft enough to be enjoyed on the rocks or as a dry martini. It truly is the utility gin of our time.
A pioneer in the whisky category, Death's Door White Whisky has an 80:20 mash bill of Washington Island Wheat to malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. The spirit is then double-distilled up to 160 proof (80% abv), rested in stainless steel and finished in uncharred Minnesota oak barrels to help bring the white whisky together and to meld this unique spirits' flavors. The bouquet is one part South of the Border: artisanal cachaça, tequila; and one part Eastern: sweet potato shochu/soju and earthy sake. Yet, the palate is unmistakably whisky: a smooth double-distilled varietal with vanilla, chocolate covered raisin, and dark cherry flavors.
