Port Chilkoot Distillery

Southeast Alaska’s First Distillery

At the far end of North America’s longest and deepest fjord, in a wooden, handcrafted building, Port Chilkoot Distillery is capturing the taste of Alaska with small-batch artisanal spirits that capture the flavor and feel of the Last Frontier. They start with water from a nearby lake; then they add organic grains that they mill themselves and local hand gathered herbs like spruce tip, whole juniper berries, cinnamon, and coriander, to make distinctive and delicious gin, bourbon, rye, vodka, and absinthe.  Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are so exceptional that their 50 Fathoms Gin was awarded a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a gold at the American Craft Spirits Awards. As the first distillery in Southeast Alaska, Port Chilkoot Distillery is proof that the passion, ingenuity, and resilience of our region can create incredible local products. Beneath the glacier-sloped peaks of the Chilkat Mountain Range, they have created something local, delicious, and true. “Alaska, Bottled. Tastes Like Here.”
