calling all whiskey drinkers! this post is for YOU!
woodinville whiskey co. is the MAIN reason i chose seattle as our weekend spot. it is a young brand of whiskey, only available in the state of washington & was rated number 3 on forbes list of top 10 whiskey distilleries in the nation to tour. it was 20 miles outside of seattle proper so we hopped in an uber & headed up the 405! it was amazing, the distillery itself had such a cool vibe. we walked right in and each had a taster flight of everything they make: a rye whiskey, a bourbon, a barrel aged honey, a maple syrup & a vodka. grant would be the person to talk to if your interested in how the woodinville whiskey & bourbon are compared to the classics like jack, jim & crown.
the tour itself was fun too, we got to look inside fermenting tanks & see the giant copper still, learn about the process & finally see barrels upon barrels of finished product.
we went to radiator whiskey, a very swanky whiskey bar in pike place, a small room with a BIG whiskey selection. grant tasted a few new ones & the bartender mixed me up a phil collins, i have no idea what was in it besides whiskey, but it was pink & it was goooood.
the last stop on our seattle trip was to a place called '9 million in unmarked bills' -- we chose it off the name & a story grant read in a magazine about it being the last known meeting place of a chef turned bank robber! if that doesn't make you wanna go check it out, go for the truffle mac ;)
[ other great options we were unable to visit during this trip are fremont mischief whiskey & westland distillery. the locals pointed me in their direction, but they were closed on sunday! i guess there is always next time! ]
