Overview

Gold River Distillery

Gold River Distillery is proud to be the first legal distillery in Sacramento County since prohibition. We’re a small start-up micro distillery located in Northern California, just outside of the city of Sacramento. We are excited to announce that our new Wheel House American Dry Gin is now available in stores through out the Sacramento area. Our gin is crafted using a blend of unique botanicals and distilled through our hand made still and gin column still.

Wheel House American Dry Gin is distinguished by a complex yet gentile bouquet of juniper, citrus and coriander. The first sip reveals a remarkably smooth texture uncommon in other gins. Wheel House opens strong with smooth juniper up front immediately followed by a bold array of botanicals and a spicy finish as its smooth texture becomes crisp, cleansing your palate for the next sip.

During the days of prohibition, the river city of Sacramento was rumored to have been the easiest place to find a drink in California. Spirits were made available to a thirsty population by using riverboats to transport alcohol throughout the region. Those brave enough to transport moonshine piloted their boats from the wheelhouse, or captain’s bridge, assuring the public had the gin they needed during tough times.

We think you’ll agree that our gin is delicious and approachable even to those who typically steer clear of other gins. Savor Wheel House Gin straight or in your favorite mixer for a noteworthy experience!
