Spirits of the Season: Alpine Distilling’s 2024 holiday gift guide
PARK CITY, Utah — This holiday season, Park City’s Alpine Distilling is inviting spirits enthusiasts and gift-givers to explore a truly unique lineup of carefully crafted offerings that go beyond the gifting of one of its award-winning spirits. From limited-edition spirits to lifestyle products, Alpine redefines the art of gifting with its 2024 holiday collection.
Under the Tree
At the heart of this year’s gift guide is the brand-new Distiller’s Box, a meticulously curated selection that showcases the best of Alpine Distilling’s portfolio. This exclusive set includes their award-winning Alpine Elevated Gin, Preserve Liqueur, AngeVert Herbal Liqueur, Persistent Vodka, and Spicy Lafayette Whiskey.
Next in the lineup are some remarkable limited releases for the person with the immaculate bar cart. The Barrel-Aged Mountain Blend Gin Liqueur is a true collector’s item, with only 200 bottles available exclusively through the distillery. Meanwhile, the Mountain Moonshine represents a final tribute to founder Rob Sergent’s Kentucky heritage, offering a nostalgic taste of family tradition.
Adventurous palates will appreciate the Stein Eriksen Aquavit, a limited-edition spirit distilled exclusively for the Stein Eriksen Lodge. This “liquid gold” is crafted from Utah-grown winter wheat and barley, featuring complex notes of caraway, cardamom, and fennel—perfect for holiday toasts or pairing with hearty winter meals.
Experiences
In lieu of physical gifts, many opt for experiences and activity. Alpine Distilling’s Make Your Own Gin Experience and Guided Tastings are perfect group activities for the 21 and older crowd.
Alpine Distilling’s guided tasting invites spirit enthusiasts to explore a curated selection of five whiskeys and gins. Accompanied by sensory-enhancing elements like nuts and cacao nibs, the experience offers communal seating and an interactive discussion about each spirit’s unique profile. Following the tasting, guests can relax in the lounge, enjoying optional cocktails, warm pretzels, and pie to extend their Alpine evening.
The immersive Gin Experience can be booked for private groups of 6-8 participants, inviting guests to become master distillers for an evening. Attendees dive deep into gin’s botanical history, carefully crafting their personal 750ml gin blend. After the botanical selection process, staff distill the custom spirits while guests can either observe the entire process or explore Park City’s Main Street. The experience, starting at 4 p.m., concludes with each participant receiving a professionally sealed and labeled bottle of their unique gin, available for pickup at the retail store that evening or the following day.
Stocking Stuffers
A new Barrel Aged Maple Syrup, aged six months in American Whiskey barrels, promises to elevate both cocktails and holiday food favorites.
For those seeking a touch of practical luxury, Alpine’s collaboration with EiR brings a hydrating chapstick made with natural herbs and essential oils.
A local favorite is the limited-edition Ritual Chocolate Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar. Created in partnership with Ritual Chocolate, this sophisticated treat features cacao aged with Alpine Distilling’s gin, resulting in a complex flavor profile that captures notes of juniper, lavender, cardamom, and orange peel.
The distillery has also expanded into lifestyle products with two new aromatic collections. Developed in collaboration with designer Jennifer Tutor, these diffuser and roller applications offer signature scents for The Lodge at Blue Sky’s spa and Alpine Distilling itself.
Whether you’re shopping for a spirits connoisseur, a food and drink enthusiast, or someone who appreciates artisanal craftsmanship, Alpine Distilling’s 2024 holiday collection offers something truly special. These gifts aren’t just products—they’re experiences that capture the essence of Park City’s most innovative distillery.
Available exclusively at Alpine Distilling’s Pleasure Club and Social Aid and Distillery locations, 364 Main Street; Park City and 7132 Silver Creek Rd; Park City, these holiday offerings are bound to bring joy to the world.
