Thomas T. Allan IV, Theta Theta ’89 (University of Washington) is passionate about Gin. Madrona Distillery is his gin-focused spirits producer located in Redmond, Washington.
Tom began building the business three years ago and opened our doors in February of 2024. To date they have accumulated 7 international awards including 5 gold medals. Product sales channels include our tasting room, direct distribution and a regional wholesaler. Tom started his passion project in 2024 by introducing small batch Dry Gin and Vodka in early 2024. Garden Club Gin, Barrel Reserve Gin, and Prayer Bottle Rum have since joined the lineup.
The business is wholly owned by Tom Allan and his wife Anne. The name Madrona honors the beautiful red-barked trees that line the shores of their favorite sailing destination, The San Juan Islands of northwest Washington. Some of the botanicals used in production are harvested from their home on Orcas Island. Tom served as the 23rd president of the Executive Council of Psi Upsilon Fraternity
