sweetness from the northwoods

100 Mill St Gin was born in the maple forests of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The idea of using nature’s most sustainable sugar for an elegant spirit base manifested in Minneapolis beginning in 2019 with a recipe informed by a veritable gin scholar and a Wisconsin born craft distiller.

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

The late spring Wisconsin maple syrup for our base is sourced in nearby Cadott, WI. Distiller Erin Dosh ferments small batches of maple wine to be vapor infused in the still with our bill of botanicals, creating an American Contemporary style gin— you can expect a complex, sweeter, less juniper-forward spirit. Each batch has an almost imperceptible uniqueness.

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. Production is limited by the tapping season and our truly American natural sugar’s inherent value.
