Healy’s Gin

Trailhead Spirits Distillery WorksOur gin is named after my Great Grandfather Michael Healy. His pioneering spirit and entrepreneurial ingenuity enabled him to prosper during prohibition. In an era when the Butte copper mine was known as the richest hill on the earth, he was the toast of the town for his bootlegged spirits. A modern American Gin balanced with a variety of botanicals including your traditional Juniper and Coriander, some non-traditional such as hops and Heather tips, and native plants like Sweet grass and Bitterroot. The result is a complex creation with local flair, a true Montana Gin.
