Distillation Philosophy

Distilled with intention

We didn’t set out to make a gin for everyone. We set out to make a gin that is honest, one that carries the spirit of women who never once made themselves smaller to fit the room. Turns out, a lot of people are thirsty for exactly that.

Grape-based, California-crafted, and built around three botanicals that don’t apologize for standing out.

  1. Mandarin peel, for brightness.
  2. Nutmeg, for depth.
  3. Curry leaf, for herbal fragrance.

On a foundation of local California grapes and juniper.

Some gins blend in. Tygerassa stands apart. Distilled with intention and bottled in California, now our home.
