House Spirits Distillery is an American craft distiller based in Portland, Oregon. It was founded in Corvallis in 2004 and moved to Portland in 2005.[1][2] Its production facility and tasting room is located on Portland's Distillery Row, in the Central Eastside Industrial District.[1][3] The distillery's flagship brand is Aviation American Gin, which comprised 80% of its production in 2012,[2][4] and around 40% in 2016,[5] after the company's move into a larger distillery facilitated a major expansion of production of its whiskey brand.
Production of Westward Oregon Straight Malt Whiskey, made from malted barley grown in the Pacific Northwest,[2] accounted for around 50% of the company's production in late 2016.[5] Other products include Krogstad Festlig aquavit and Volstead Vodka.[2] Small-batch artisanal liqueurs from House Spirits have included Japanese-style shōchū and coffee liqueur.[6]
In 2013, the company made plans to expand its distribution to 35 states in a deal with distributor Southern Wine & Spirits.[2] The same year, House Spirits opened a second tasting room at Portland International Airport.[7] Former NFL quarterback Joe Montana is an investor in the company.[2]
In November 2015, House Spirits opened a new, larger distillery in Portland's Central Eastside Industrial District. The $6 million, 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) facility, built almost entirely new, also included a tasting room.[8] At the time, House said the expansion would enable them to double their production of American Aviation Gin and increase their production of Westward Oregon Straight Malt Whiskey tenfold.[8]
In late 2016, the company sold its flagship brand, American Aviation Gin, to New York-based distributor Davos Brands,[9] but the company continues to be the gin's sole distiller.[10]
