Skagway Spirits Distillery sits at 941 Alaska Street in the heart of historic Skagway, Alaska, a town famous for its Gold Rush heritage and cruise ship tourism. Founded by local entrepreneur Ryan Hoke, this small-batch distillery opened its doors to bring craft spirits production to one of Alaska’s most remote yet visited destinations. The operation focuses on creating unique spirits that capture the rugged Alaskan experience, producing vodka, gin, and specialty liqueurs in small batches. The distillery occupies a modest space on Alaska Street, Skagway’s main thoroughfare, making it easily accessible to the thousands of cruise passengers and tourists who visit the town each summer. What started as Hoke’s vision to create something uniquely Alaskan has grown into a legitimate craft distillery that serves both locals and the steady stream of visitors seeking authentic Alaskan experiences. The operation remains small and personal, with Hoke often present to share stories about the challenges and rewards of distilling in Alaska’s extreme climate and remote location.
