Wilderton, a botanical non-alcoholic spirit and the 1st Non-Alcohol Distillery + Tasting Room, emerges from the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, handcrafted in the scenic town of Hood River, Oregon. The essence of Wilderton lies in its mission: to redefine the art of cocktail crafting for a new generation. Their ambition is to offer a spirit that not only stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s finest but also introduces a unique and unparalleled experience.
In the heart of nature’s bounty, Wilderton finds inspiration, opting to focus on natural flavors rather than alcohol. This decision proves liberating and exhilarating, as botanicals shine brighter and taste richer in their non-alcoholic expressions. The craftsmanship is a meticulous process, drawing from traditional techniques of tea making, perfumery, and spirits distillation.
Two standout expressions, Earthen and Lustre, showcase the power of distillation in crafting non-alcoholic wonders. Earthen, with its smooth and sultry profile, tantalizes the palate with white peppercorn, pine-smoked tea, and cardamom. Combine with ginger ale and a wedge of fresh lime for a beverage that inspires meaningful discussions with a companion beside the fireplace or provides a serene solo unwind after a long day.
In contrast, Lustre offers a crisp, citrusy brightness through a refreshing blend of orange, tarragon, and lavender. Just combine with tonic water, pour over ice, and watch as your backyard barbecue transforms into a refreshing lakeside experience reminiscent of the lush rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
The Bittersweet Aperitivo is a testament to Wilderton’s dedication to time-honored processes. Extracting botanicals in hot water and combining them with unfermented wine grape juice and single-botanical distillates, this unique blend of grapefruit, orange blossom, and aromatic herbs invigorates the taste buds, leaving a pleasing bittersweet finish.
Wilderton’s modern approach to crafting non-alcoholic beverages has captivated a devoted following, leading to the inauguration of the country’s first non-alcoholic dedicated tasting room and distillery. Whether mixed with tonic water, soda water, or ginger ale over ice, Wilderton promises a delightful experience that sparks good times and conversations with every sip. The brand invites enthusiasts to explore a new dimension of flavor-driven craft cocktails, transcending the boundaries of traditional spirits.
