Quick Overview

Family operated in Seattle, Washington.

Launched in March 2012, Big Gin is the first product from Ballard-based distillery Captive Spirits (just outside Seattle). Allegedly the name came from both the flavour profile of the gin as well as distiller Ben Capdevielle's nickname for his dad, Big Jim, a craft distiller in Wisconsin.

Captive Spirits Distilling sold it's first bottle in February 2011. Ben Capdevielle, founder & distiller, began distilling as a hobby with his father, Jim. Jim had learned how to distill from his father, Ted. Hence, a legacy was born, where Ben took it from a hobby to a job. After 10 years behind bars & kitchens, he started making Big Gin, named aptly from his father's nickname of "Big Jim."

Details

The flagship Big Gin® rests for four months in wooden single malt barrels to create an aged gin with notes of bitter orange, warm spices, earthy greens, and a hint of resinous wood.

TASTING NOTES:

Vegetal, swiss chard, earthy greens followed by a touch of resinous wood & preserved lemon on the nose. Bitter orange & warm spices envelope the mouth feel. Embodiments of the great outdoors finishes the palate.
