Talking Cedar Distillery

THIS IS SPIRIT’S HISTORY

Until 2018 distilling alcohol on tribal lands was illegal. We fought the law. And won.

First of It's Kind

Kayak Gin

After the Chehalis Tribe overturned the law at the federal level in 2018, Kayak Gin became the first spirit legally distilled on tribal land in the United States.

Today we continue that legacy with award-winning spirits using water from our aquifer and botanicals foraged from our land. This is where history was made, and where we continue to build on it.
