In this episode, we chat with Jill Kuehler, owner and founder of Freeland Spirits in Portland, Oregon. When Amy visited this distillery earlier this year, she came back with a fabulous bottle of gin and enthusiasm for this female founded, owned and operated distillery. Inspired by her grandmother, Jill set out to create a line of spirits using the freshest ingredients she could find. She teamed up with the youngest female Master Distiller in the U.S., Molly Troupe, who brought her expertise and innovative ideas to create the best damn gin we've ever tasted.

Lee Hedgmon grew up in Portland, Oregon, there was a culture of craft so making sweet drinks came very naturally and there are plenty of bee keepers in the region and lots of honey. Making a great brew is one thing, selling it commercially is another. So Lee has partnered with other spirits producers, among them Freeland Spirits of Portland, for whom she also works as a distiller. Previously a distiller for McMenamin's, a regional pub owner, Lee knew people in the business. She began asking around if people had barrels they were dumping anytime soon and when they did, they went to Lee! In exchange, the distillers got some bottles of Barreled Bee and go their names on the bottle tag for advertising and everybody was a winner! And since distillery barrels have more than one life, Lee also gives her barrels away after she uses them; it's a great ecosystem and great community. Beyond the actual brewing regimen, Lee is an astute marketer. Her packaging is superb, with distinctive bottling and labeling. The label looks “sophisticated woodsy” and the lid is reminiscent of any fine liquor bottling. A master stroke: She has added the signature wax sealant on the top ala Maker's Mark. And luckily during the lockdown, her production numbers were small enough she never experienced a shortage of bottles, so distribution was not disrupted. Growth plans are in the works and the challenges to overcome are basic. Lee needs space, the right kind of space. Barrels are large and when filled with honey, very heavy. And as mentioned, temperature and humidity control are crucial. If too cold, the honey can crystalize inside the barrel and it's not a fun rescue, if rescue is even possible. Aging time is about four months, and the barrels are mixed and tested in between. Drinking the honey straight is probably for the very few, it's best as part of a cocktail recipe. And here's a good one (write it down): The Honey Drop. Geneva Gin (from Freeland, Lee makes it also), Barrel Aged Honey (of course), lemon juice, a bit of Cointreau and egg white. Yes, your mouth is watering, so go make one and enjoy.

Sometimes it All Starts with Meema and High School Biology Class: Molly Troupe and Nikki Bon and featuring Freeland Spirits

Episode 28 – Guardianship and Legacy Molly Troupe from Freeland Spirits takes the ‘pivoting’ notion to a whole new level. Molly was onto this idea long before it became part of the business lexicon gripping the world in 2020.  Molly’s story is a remarkable example of mastering ambiguity, managing the unknown, harnessing curiosity and finding a way to make things happen. Molly found herself at a cross-roads during her undergraduate studies in forensic chemistry, and did what every thoughtful student would do; think about the future and drink to that future. And it was an unassuming glass of whiskey that pique Molly’s curiosity no end. Within a month, Molly emigrated to Scotland to complete an MSc in Brewing and Distilling from Heriot-Watt University. Quite the leap of faith for someone whose longest journey to that point was to Reno, Nevada. With an uncertain post-graduation future but with a clear objective, Molly returned to Oregon and the quest began, landing a quality assurance role in a distillery.  Interestingly, the idea of drinking to one’s future kicked in again, after a bourbon tasting, leading to a relocation to Bend, and a 3 year tenure at Oregon Spirit Distillers. Molly now plays a pivotal role in the Freeland Spirits business; an opportunity of a lifetime and the key narrative in this podcast. Founded by CEO Jill Kuehler, the Freeland name recognises the strong, loving relationship between Jill and her meemaw forged during formative years in Texas. After an initial meeting over lunch, it became clear that Molly and Jill shared the same vision and values, and a “let’s make it happen” approach.  This same energy and drive has led to great partnerships with local producers and suppliers. This is turn has helped Freeland turbo-charge the release of their delicious new products – distilled beverages and canned cocktails – against the difficult trading backdrop punctuating 2020.  And to top things off, Freeland launched their intern program in September of this year as well. A remarkable achievement by any measure.  Molly’s contributions include being one of the 9 Female Distillers You Should Know, recognition by Forbes 30 under 30, a board member for the American Craft Spirits Association, co-founder of Gin 2018, published author, speaker and educator. Sit back, relax and enjoy my chat with one of America’s finest. Be bold. Enjoy yourself. Let’s creative a new gin narrative.

Some interesting whiskey news plus exciting info about upcoming reviews!

Episode 16 - Guardianship Welcome to the Still Magic podcast your one-click audio stop for all things gin. Be it gin making, gin producing, gin distilling, gin manufacturing, gin commercialising, gin tasting, gin drinking, gin steeping, and everything else in between. Today we get to take a trip to the United States of America to meet one of the country's up and coming young distillers.  In 2019 I was invited to join a team of industry leading gin instructors convened by Dr Gary Spedding of Brewing and Distilling Analytical Services (BDAS) in Lexington Kentucky. https://bdastesting.com/ The Gin team comprises Molly Troupe of Freeland Spirits, Tom Anderson of Pinckney Bend, Jamie Baxter of Craft Distilling Services and Tony Aiken of BDAS.  https://bdastesting.com/classes/ Collectively this group delivers the finest 5-day gin course in the US; a career highlight for me on every measure. One of the distillers at the 2019 edition of the course is today’s podcast guest, Clara Robbins. Clara is a deep-thinking distiller with a thirst for knowledge. I remember my first conversation with Clara being about the dark lord of all gin, and indeed in all spirits-making; water. Water is one product component that many people would take for granted. There's water for operations, distillation purposes, and water for quality control. I found Clara’s interest in water quality as a clear sign of understanding the impact it can have on distillation and packaging processes. In some ways, it was like connecting with a kindred spirit albeit from different parts of the world, given my own fervent interest in water from managing packaging operations “down under” At that time in 2019 Clara had a distilling role with a craft operation in Frankfort KY, called Castle and Key. Though considered as ‘craft’ in the US, it is a largish distillery by Australasian standards. Clara speaks fondly of her role at Castle and Key, of her mentor Marianne Eaves and how that working experience uncovered an interest in gin and a desire to grow with it. Clara shares insights from her journey on many levels; the importance of her family, the pursuit for excellence, forging an authentic future on one’s own terms, her love of music and an unbridled passion for all things gin! Clara now has a distilling and new product development (NPD) role with the team at St Petersburg Craft Distillery in Florida. Their product range is diverse, vibrant, and exciting. With rum, tropical gin, sweet whiskey, artisanal vodka and orange liqueur already in the ranks, a renewed focus on gin is an exciting next step for both Clara and “St Petes”. https://stpetersburgdistillery.com/ @stpetedistillery The gin legacy needs guardianship to guide it through future chapters in its centuries-long narrative; it always has, and it always will. Clara Robbins and the next generation of distillers will do so in style. Watch this space. Be bold. Enjoy yourself. Let’s create a new gin narrative.

Piper mouths off about the "Old Booze Network" vs. women distillers, and the challenges of drinking locally. Jill Kuehler of Freeland Spirits joins Piper for a conversation about gin--and they enjoy a drink or two.

Host Chop talks with Jesse Brantley, the Director of Sales at Freeland Spirits about the distillery and the upcoming Distillery Row cocktail crawl.

We turn the tables and ask our previous HRN ON Tour guest, Michelle Battista, to become the host! She introduces us to Jill Kuehler, the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland’s new craft distillery—and another co-founder of a women-owned and operated business. Jill makes a persuasive case for why women make better booze. She also talks regenerative agriculture and her off-the-charts horseradish gin. Jill is the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland’s new craft distillery. It’s owned and operated by women, from the gals who grow the grain and botanicals, to those who run the still. They’re creating superior spirits that celebrate all the Northwest has to offer. Freeland Spirits Gin is crafted by hand in small batches. A traditional copper pot still brings juniper and 13 other botanicals to life. Meanwhile, a state of the art vacuum still cajoles quieter flavors including fresh cucumber, rosemary, mint and thyme. Yes, delicious in cocktails. But we suggest sipping it with just a cube of ice. Thanks to our engineer, Aaron Parecki of Stream PDX. Music by Breakmaster Cylinder HRN On Tour is powered by Simplecast.

Freeland Spirits owner Jill Kuehler and master distiller Molly Troupe speak about their amazing Gin Spirits made right here in Portland OR. Two amazing women on a mission of world domination.
