Port Chilkoot Distillery was the first craft distillery in Southeast Alaska. Back in 2013, locals Sean Copeland and Heather Shade founded the distillery and still own and operate it today. Visitors from around the world travelling through Southeast Alaska find our distillery nestled in the historical town of Haines. This place is like nowhere else, and our labels reflect the coastal culture of the misty Southeast Alaskan fishing towns where the ocean meets the mountains… the very thing that we bottle up. Handmade craftsmanship is our passion, and that means all our products are made onsite in small batches. The distillery was also renovated and built by Sean himself, so everything from the roof over the stills to the product we pour into our bottles exemplifies our passion for excellence and the distinct character that is Southeast Alaska. Our products reflect who we are… small town Alaskans infusing our products with a do-it-yourself attitude.
