Master distiller Crispin Cain is a seasoned spirits and wine industry veteran. In 1983 he was moonlighting jobs in Pleasanton in a wine cellar, and on a bottling line, while working with Cooper Laboratories plasma kinetics division during the day. After having settled in Mendocino County, in ’89 Crispin Cain worked as assistant distiller to the brandy master Hubert Germain-Robin for seven years before founding Greenway Distillers Inc. with his wife, partner, and vice president, Tamar Kaye in 2005.

In 2008, he started a second company, Tamar Distillery Inc. which produces Low Gap Whiskey, Russell Henry Gin, DSP 162 Vodka, and Fluid Dynamics Barrel Aged Cocktails.

The award-winning Russell Henry Gin lineup is produced at the Tamar distillery using an old-fashioned double-distillation method that has been used in the production of cognac for over half a century. “Folks ask: another gin? Well, Crispin thought there was a lot of room for improvement by using the finest craft methods. So did Paul Pacult: his Spirit Journal’s 2013 list of the world’s 120 best spirits, included Russell Henry Gin, ‘A stellar example, a new landmark in American gin-making.’ ” Cain infuses these gins with a secret recipe of rare botanicals, real fruit, and real spices including juniper, coriander, cardamom, orris root, and lemon peel.

Russell Henry Hawaiian Ginger Gin is made using Russell Henry London Dry Gin. After distillation, the gin is infused with macerated organic white ginger grown by Phil and Linda Green — organic farmers on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii. As the ginger soaks into the gin, the latter absorbs the ginger’s textures, aromas and flavors. Russell Henry Hawaiian Ginger Gin has subtle aromas and flavors of ginger, which are complemented by notes of juniper and citrus, and lead to a soft, light finish.
