Gray Whale Gin was founded by SoCal couple, Jan & Marsh Mokhtari, on the principle
that a consciously crafted spirit can bring us together for good times while doing some good
in the world.

Every purchase gives back to 1% for the Planet and Oceana, the largest organization in the world devoted to ocean conservation. In less than 5 years, they have already helped make legislative change, permanently protecting the oceans off the West Coast.

Check out the new cocktails below:

Gray Whale Gin is perfected with sustainably sourced and wild-harvested botanicals foraged along the migratory path of the California Gray Whale, including:
Juniper- (Big Sur), Limes- (Temecula Valley), Fir Trees (Sonoma), Sea Kelp (Mendocino Coast), Mint (Santa Cruz), and Almonds (Central Valley).

The bottle itself is thoughtfully designed with organic paint and a biodegradable cork and
contains “Easter eggs,” including the map where the botanicals are sourced hidden within the
whale fluke logo, which represents each whale’s unique “thumbprint.” The brand also collects as many empty bottles of Gray Whale Gin as possible and up-cycles them into candles scented with the gin’s botanicals, with 100% of profits going to Oceana.
