The idea for Gray Whale Gin came during a camping trip to Big Sur. The producers
were impressed by California's breathtaking beauty. In the turquoise sea, they
saw a gray whale with its calf - thus the idea for the production of this gin.
In 2016, the Golden State Distillery was founded.

The gin is distilled 7 times based on corn to guarantee a high quality product.
Selected botanicals are used, either from sustainable farms or wild collections.

The sun-dried botanicals are weighed, tested and poured directly into the still
to release their unique aroma. To preserve the fresh citrus and pine needles,
they are placed in a bag that is carefully secured over the copper-colored
stills. Botanical distillation is the final step in our process.



The purchase of a bottle supports Oceana in the protection and restoration of
the world's oceans.
