ARC - Barrel Reserve Gin

The Story

From Alsace to Saint Petersburg to the Pearl of the Orient, the journey of our grandfather, Master Distiller Peter Westfall, inspires Archipelago. Escaping the tumult of the Russian Revolution, Peter arrived in Manila with his family in 1918 and soon found an opportunity to apply his unique knowledge and expertise at a local brewery. Tinkering with tropical fruits and botanicals to extract their exotic flavors and aromas, Peter’s groundbreaking work led to inventions that endure today. For nearly two decades, Peter and his family explored the island archipelago, enjoying the country’s rich culture and warm people, becoming citizens of the country they loved.
