House Spirits Distillery is a small, artisan distilling house based in Portland, Oregon. The distillery is currently producing and barreling Oregon Pure Malt Whiskey that it expects to begin selling by 2014. The company was born out of a shared passion for whiskey among its founders, and its long range plan has always been centered around whiskey production. Distiller Lee Medoff began distilling professionally in 1996, and between he and co-founder Christian Krogstad they have more than four decades of experience in the craft brewing, winemaking and distilling industries.
Oregon has long been known for its wine and craft beer industries, along with its innovative and trend-setting influence in the beverage and culinary world. It is no surprise, then, that nearly 20 percent of the 100 or so artisan distilleries registered in the United States are based in and around the Portland area. While we will never have the years of tradition enjoyed by the Kentucky Bourbon industry, we believe that Oregon has the opportunity to re-introduce independent whiskey production and pioneer new concepts in small batch whiskey distilling.
House Spirits was founded in 2004 and is located in the heart of Portland, Oregon near the Willamette River. In addition to whiskey, the distillery currently produces a line of craft spirits that are distributed throughout the United States and a handful of other countries around the globe. It's brands are Aviation Gin, Krogstad Aquavit and Medoyeff Vodka.
