Jill Kuehler at Feast Portland
b'We turn the tables and ask our previous HRN ON Tour guest, Michelle Battista, to become the host! She introduces us to Jill Kuehler, the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland\\u2019s new craft distillery\\u2014and another co-founder of a women-owned and operated business. Jill makes a persuasive case for why women make better booze. She also talks regenerative agriculture and her off-the-charts horseradish gin.\\n\\nJill is the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland\\u2019s new craft distillery. It\\u2019s owned and operated by women, from the gals who grow the grain and botanicals, to those who run the still. They\\u2019re creating superior spirits that celebrate all the Northwest has to offer. Freeland Spirits Gin is crafted by hand in small batches. A traditional copper pot still brings juniper and 13 other botanicals to life. Meanwhile, a state of the art vacuum still cajoles quieter flavors including fresh cucumber, rosemary, mint and thyme. Yes, delicious in cocktails. But we suggest sipping it with just a cube of ice.'
