THE HAWTHORNE SERIES
Welcome to the neighborhood! In the heart of midtown Bend, Oregon we make premium whiskey and spirits on the corner of NE Hawthorne Avenue and NE 1st Street.
Here we honor our location by releasing distillery exclusive spirits. The Hawthorne Series is a celebration of unique, small-batch whiskeys and spirits. These single barrel projects explore possibility through collaboration and creativity in distilling.
Guided by our community values, we repurpose casks and partner with businesses that range from coffee roasters to winemakers in our region. We use these locally sourced ingredients and materials to produce limited editions that cannot be found outside of the distillery’s bottle shop.
Available in limited batches.

GAMAY NOIR BARREL-AGED GIN
This special release is the 19th Hawthorne release in our series, and will be available at the Oregon Gin Festival!
This juniper and spice forward gin was aged in a Gamay Noir Wine Barrel for 23 months. Gamay is a light bodied red wine similar in taste to pinot noir. Gamay red grapes grow in colder climates. The barrel used to age this gin was originally used to produce Gamay in the cool region of the Oregon Willamette Valley.

BARREL-AGED AMARO
Introducing the 18th Hawthorne release in our series: Barrel-Aged Amaro! Citrus notes blend with a herbal aroma to create a perfectly balanced liqueur. A touch of sugar was added to level the bitter and sweet flavor profiles. Barrel aging adds a smooth depth and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Perfect for mixing into Negronis and many other cocktails.
Pinot Noir Barrel-Aged Gin
PINOT-NOIR BARREL AGED GIN
Introducing the 16th Hawthorne in our series: Pinot Noir Barrel-Aged Gin! This "pink" gin beautifully blends notes of citrus, pink peppercorn and Oregon wine to create a fruity flavor profile with a lingering, peppery finish. It is aged eighteen months in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, which lend to 100% of its color. Stop by the Tasting Room to have a sample or try it in a cocktail.
Golden Rum
GOLDEN RUM
Number 15 in our Hawthorne series is a delicious rum distilled from 100% blackstrap molasses. Aged 7 years in Bend, OR, it boasts notes of vanilla and caramel that give way to tropical fruits, copper, and rose petals. This rum is perfect for sipping on its own or blending into classic cocktails.
Aged Merrylegs Genever Gin
AGED MERRYLEGS
What happens to our Merrylegs Genever after it rests in an ex-bourbon barrel for 5 years? The spirit changes to a pale honey hue, and the delicate botanicals are given a deep, earthy makeover. Our Aged Merrylegs has aromas of grass and licorice, and a floral earthiness on the tongue. Sippable, or use to replace tequila in your preferred margarita recipe.
