Frequently Asked Questions

Who is behind Dhōs?
Dhōs was created at Ransom Distillery in Sheridan, Oregon — a pioneering craft spirits producer with over 25 years of distilling heritage. Our team helped revive the Old Tom Gin category and brought artisanal techniques to American whiskey, gin, and vermouth. With Dhōs, we’ve channeled that same craftsmanship into a line of premium non-alcoholic spirits for mindful drinkers.
Why was Dhōs created?
Dhōs was born from a simple question: “What if you could enjoy the full craft cocktail experience — without the alcohol?” We blended our knowledge of botanical spirits with a commitment to health-conscious, flavorful alternatives. The result? A bold and balanced range of non-alcoholic spirits that let you drink on your own terms.
How is Dhōs made?
Dhōs is blended from scratch using steam-distilled botanicals, artisan blending techniques, and natural sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia. Each small batch is unfiltered for maximum flavor and undergoes rigorous microbial testing for safety and consistency.
Where is Dhōs made?
Every bottle is handcrafted at our certified organic distillery and farm in Sheridan, Oregon, USA.
