Farid Dormishian, owner and master distiller of Falcon Spirits, has been a Biochemist, Wine maker, Bartender, and a Distiller. He studied Biochemistry at U.C. Berkeley and my undergraduate research project was conducted on fermentation. After working in several mundane bars to fund his tuition, he found at a bar where the owners valued mixology. He was encouraged to explore and find old classics from antique books, experiment with infusions, bring back recipes from our trips abroad, and use tinctures and bitters.
After graduate school, he worked in the Biotech field as a research scientist and later as a quality manager, while reading voraciously on distillation and taking advanced distillation classes. He further read about plants, herbs, essential oils, and perfumery and most importantly experimented. Finally, in 2011, he launched Falcon Spirits and in 2013, after much tinkering, debuted his first gin - ?Botanica Spiritvs," winner of the Good Food Award in 2014.?

Our gin draws its name from the 135?meridian east which crosses Akashi City in the Hyogo prefecture - the home of our Kaikyo Distillery. The meridian line perfectly represents our passion for discovering what lies beyond its borders. Inspired by the Taisho period, our Hyogo Style Gin plays on a time when eastern culture merged with western customs. This is expertly reflected in our ingredients as they enhance and complement each other.
Traditional London Dry Gin botanicals mingle with Japanese botanicals ? both crowned by a touch of sake. Expertly weaved together, the botanicals of 135o EAST Gin awaken the senses by stimulating the unexpected.
Similarly, our ingredients do the same ? merge East and West to create the perfect balance of dry gin with spicy sansho pepper and floral, citrusy notes of yuzu each blended in 135o EAST Gin:

Aria Portland Dry Gin is distilled by hand in the heart of Northwest Portland, Oregon. Aria is a classic English inspired gin made using traditional British ingredients and distillation techniques and is true to the London Dry style.?
Aria was created by a seventeen-year professional bartender, for bartenders, with cocktails in mind. Aria is a versatile gin which works well in any classic gin cocktail, especially a Martini, or it can be the basis for experimentation and creativity. It is also approachable enough to be enjoyed neat or straight over ice.
The recipe for Aria was developed over the course of four years and hundreds of test distillations. Aria is handmade and batch distilled with ten classic gin botanicals that were carefully chosen to create a flavor profile that has depth and complexity, but above all a perfect sense of balance
| At 50% ABV, this is the ?export strength? expression of our multi-award-winning, strikingly
smooth London Dry. A giant of a gin!
Exquisitely engineered for a more complex flavour profile, we?ve added extra juniper and
introduced six new botanicals ? green cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, cassia bark, cubeb
pepper and lemon ? for a bolder, richer flavour; an earthy sweetness combines with citrus
freshness for a dry spicy finish. |
