sweetness from the northwoods

100 Mill St Gin was born in the little northern Wisconsin town of Laona, surrounded by maple forest, the ancestral home of founder Peter Connor. As a steward of the trees by profession and a gin scholar by enthusiasm, Peter was struck by the simplicity of using nature’s most sustainable sugar for an elegant spirit base.

Paired with maple sap’s natural sweetness is a conscientious selection of 14 unique and beguiling botanicals. Though led by juniper, the “secret recipe” (spoiler: not really a secret) coalesces to produce a unique umami that speaks highly of itself on its own and across any gin cocktail.  

always local, always small-batch

Our unofficial motto Valor Cog Flora (“Value with Botanicals,” if you’re generous with translation) contains the first letter of each of our botanicals after the essential juniper. 

The story of our special pure maple base, both local and truly sustainable– sets 100 Mill St Gin apart from the craft crowd. It is created by master distiller Erin Dosh in small batches from scratch in Minnesota with a Wisconsin home base. We are truly a Wiscon-sota  (Minne-sconsin?) operation. Production is limited by the spring maple tapping season, so grab a bottle while the sap is flowing!
