Tamworth Distilling, the maker of wilderness-inspired whiskeys in New Hampshire, is pushing the boundaries of flavor with the release of House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose – a goose-flavored whiskey.
House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose is now available in limited quantities via the Tamworth Distilling shop, Seelbach’s, and at selected New Hampshire liquor stores for an RRP of $65 per 200ml bottle.
House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose
The limited-edition whiskey, perfect for holiday sipping, was blended with locally sourced white spruce tips, roasted goose from a local family-run farm, and plums. The resulting whiskey carries notes of “evergreen forest, game bird, tobacco, plum, and crackling with the mouthfeel and viscosity akin to a fat washed cocktail.”
Tamworth Distilling is well known for its daring and innovative approach to crafting small batch spirits. This approach includes using wild ingredients such as beaver castoreum, venison, trout, turkey, and invasive green crabs.
This wild approach (in more ways than one) earned Tamworth Distilling a Food & Wine Drinks Innovator of the Year award in 2023.
Working With The Land
Tamworth Distilling is also known for its environmentally friendly practices, which help to protect New Hampshire’s spruce-fir forests.
“We have sourced white spruce tips over the years for different innovations from the unique ecosystems of northern NH but the trick for us is to find spruce needles that are not just byproducts of established spruce harvests but also from partners that we feel good about.” States Matt Power, Distiller, Tamworth Distilling. “In an effort to make sure we are honoring our commitment to conservation and can continue to harvest spruce tips for future spirits, we will be planting our own white spruce forest so we can contribute to the reforestation of spruce forests in the New Hampshire region.”
Every person who purchases a bottle of House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose can contribute to this initiative; Tamworth Distilling has pledged to plant one native spruce seedling for every bottle purchased.

“Our distillery was built and operates fully in accordance with the land — not against it. We only take what we can give back, and we craft our spirits with intentional methods that promote both the longevity and improved health of the environment that we revere so intently. It’s these values that end up defining which processes we utilize in creating our spirits, instead of the other way around,” said Steven Grasse, owner and founder, Tamworth Distilling. “Why did we pair goose with spruce? Why not!?”
