Crater Lake Spirits has been making spirits in the Bend area since 1996 when they released Crater Lake Vodka and Cascade Mountain Gin (now known as Prohibition Gin). Since then, they have a greatly expanded product line including infused vodkas, gins, rye whiskeys, Reserve products, ground to bottle Estate products, and Special Rare Spirits. As America’s most award winning small batch distillery, Crater Lake Spirits believes in sharing the love and has expanded out of Oregon to be distributed in over 30 states. In 2010, the distillery itself expanded, moving the whole operation from Bend to nearby Tumalo, where they set up a tasting room, tours, gift shop, and the all-important distillery, all on an incredibly picturesque 24-acre plot with the Cascade mountains standing impressively in the background. The facility is open for tastings and free tours daily, along with bottle sales and a gift shop stocked with logo wear, cocktail gear, and more. You can also visit the Downtown Bend Tasting Room, open daily at 12pm and serving up tasters, mini cocktails, retail products, and bottle sales.
