Northwest Passage Arctic Explorer Gin

The Adventurers Drinks Company is the home to drinks inspired by modern day adventurers and we are delighted to announce that we are now selling Northwest Passage Arctic Explorer Gin inspired by 19th Century explorer John Rae, and modern-day adventurers Mark Agnew and Davie Flett.

John Rae was an arctic explorer who in the 19th Century made the discovery that King William Land was not a peninsula but an island and in doing so discovered the strait that was the final link in a navigable Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. 

In 2023 Mark and Davie followed in the footsteps of John Rae. Mark Agnew was part of an expedition that was the first to successfully kayaked the Northwest Passage in a single season. In the same year Davie Fleet was part of an expedition that attempted to row the Northwest Passage.

Northwest Passage Artic Explorers Gin is inspired by the courage and determination of these Arctic Adventurers.  Profits from the sale of the gin are going to help the restoration of the Hall of Celestrain, the birthplace of John Rae.
