Thinking Tree Spirits is featured in this article about Pacific Northwest distillers who forage ingredients from the forests, farms and the ocean to create unique flavors and textures in their spirits.

“At Thinking Tree Spirits, head distiller Kaylon McAlister tested several different types of lavender for his amethyst colored butterfly lavender vodka before discovering wild lavender with just a kiss of vanilla growing in the backyard of the company’s director of operations, Jamielyn Womack. Thinking Tree also gathers windfall fruit like peaches and apples from nearby ME and Moore Farm in Eugene, Oregon, for their small batch seasonal releases like pear brandy and peach liqueur.”
