The event will be held next Saturday, July 17th from 6:00PM to 8:00PM in their bar. It will feature 3 classic cocktails that feature absinthe along with 3 small plates, all for the incredible price of $18.00. Voyager Gin cocktails will be available also. It will be another great event and us folks from Pacific Distillery will be on hand to meet you and chat about our spirits.

Bottling Event

I would like to thank the fine folks who joined us last Saturday as we bottled cases upon cases of Voyager Gin. It appears everyone had a great time, bottling was done in record time, and we all had some time to relax for lunch after all was said and done. I'm looking forward to the next time we can have some fine folks help us out. If any of you are interested, email us at the distillery and we'll put you on the list for an upcoming bottling session. For some perspective, take a look at blog by Dennis (one of our volunteers).

Volunteers for a Voyager Gin bottling.

We are going to be looking for a few volunteers at the distillery to help bottle some gin in about two to three weeks. I had a list of folks who wanted to help, but a recent computer crash lost all my prior contacts. The bottling will be on a Saturday in mid-June, and begins around 11:00AM and lasts about 2 or 3 hours. ...If you are interested, go to our website:

I.A.C.P. (International Association of Culinary Professionals)

Last Thursday I had the honor of being invited, along with Gwydion Stone/Absinthe Marteau, to showcase our absinthes at the I.A.C.P Conference 2010 in Portland, Oregon. The I.A.C.P. Conference provided an "Absinthe Salon" for attendees to sample traditionally distilled absinthe in the classic French manner. I had a great time being able to speak with so many culinary professionals and culinary writers. An opportunity was had for us to help dispell some myths regarding absinthe and inform the attendees as to what goes into making and how to enjoy a traditional, distilled absinthe (we also sneaked in some Voyager Gin to sample). From the many, many positive comments regarding Pacifique Absinthe and Voyager Gin, I was most gratified at how these culinary professionals appreciated Pacific Distillery's traditional approach to spirit making and our products.
