House Spirits Distillery

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 comprises 80% of its production.[2][4] Other products include Krogstad Festlig aquavit, Westward Oregon Straight Malt Whiskey, made from malted barley grown in the Pacific Northwest, and Volstead Vodka.[2] Small-batch artisanal liqueurs from House Spirits have included Japanese-style shōchū, and coffee liqueur.[5]

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.[6] Former NFL quarterback Joe Montana is an investor in the company.[2]
