Our First Batch of Whiskey

Our First Batch of Whiskey

Mar 31, 2015

Our first batch of whiskey will be available at the distillery beginning April 3.

For over a year, this first batch has been resting in white American oak barrels that were previously used to age our Fig Bee’s Knees. The fig and honey add a subtle complexity to our Scotch style whiskey. We will have approximately one hundred 375ml bottles from this first barrel.

Additional batches of whiskey are still resting in Plumb, Peach, and Raspberry Bee’s Knees barrels. They will be available in the coming months and years.

Our small batch whiskey is distilled from water from Mount Olympus and the Hood Canal watershed on the Olympic Peninsula.

It is hand-crafted in a copper pot still, and has breathed the salt air from the shores of the beautiful Hood Canal.

Mike Nicolson, third generation master distiller from Scotland, is helping us create an outstanding whiskey. As he says, it’s easy to make whiskey, but it’s really hard to make good whiskey. Ours is a Scottish lowland grain style whiskey. We can’t call it scotch because we’re not in Scotland, but in all respects it is a scotch because we’re starting with good water and using a similar aging process. It’s a process that can’t be rushed, and we hope to have a baby whiskey (un-aged whiskey) ready by Thanksgiving 2013.
