Krampus Alpine Gin

Slightly Sinister. No BS Ingredients.

Juniper-forward. Alpine-inspired. Dry, structured, and bottled at a bold 96 proof. 

Krampus Alpine Gin begins with a wheat spirit distilled from Pacific Northwest grain—a deliberate choice over the more common corn-based neutral spirit used as the foundation for many gins. Wheat is a more costly starting point, but we chose it for its clean character and the way it lets the juniper and botanicals come through without adding unnecessary sweetness.

For a gin this juniper-forward and dry, the spirit underneath it matters. Krampus plays by the old rules: use good grain, make it properly, and don't cut corners before the first botanical ever meets the still.

From there, we build around a classic backbone of juniper, supported by orange peel, coriander, angelica root, orris root, cardamom, and grains of paradise. Orange and coriander bring a bright, layered citrus lift; grains of paradise add warmth and spice; angelica root lends an earthy depth; and cardamom and orris root round it out with a balancing floral note.

At 96 proof, it’s deliberately bold—dry and aromatic enough to drink neat, with the structure to hold its own in a Martini, Negroni, or gin and tonic.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh-cracked juniper and pine resin up front, then bright orange peel, coriander, and a hint of cardamom.

Palate: Dry and structured. Juniper leads, followed by citrus and coriander spice, with grains of paradise adding peppery heat. Angelica brings an earthy, rooty middle.

Finish: Long, clean, and warming. Lingering juniper, a whisper of orris florals, and a dry spice that dares you to pour another.

How to Drink It

Krampus Alpine Gin was made for classic gin cocktails where the spirit gets to show itself. Pour it into a dry Martini, give your Negroni a little more bite, or keep things simple with good tonic, plenty of ice, and a twist.

And if you're feeling particularly bold, pour it neat and let the mountains speak for themselves.

Crisp, structured, and unapologetically juniper-forward, Krampus Alpine Gin brings a darker edge to a classic spirit.

No shortcuts. No fillers. Just quality wheat spirit, real botanicals, and a little mischief in every bottle.
