Heritage Distilling Company In Washington Is A Spirited Place Full Of Pacific Northwest History

There's never been a better time to support local businesses here in Washington. And since many of us are stocking our bars in preparation for the wild ride 2020 is turning out to be, for some, that will certainly include making a trip to your local distillery. Luckily, the Pacific Northwest just happens to be home to the most awarded craft distillery in North America for six years running. Here's why you should stock up on plenty of Heritage spirits.

Heritage Distilling Company the top premier craft distilleries in the nation, making a variety of spirits including whiskey, gin, vodka, and rum.

The company operates distillery tasting rooms in Gig Harbor, Seattle, and Roslyn as well as one in Oregon.

Each tasting room has its own unique flair, and they're all worth visiting.

The locations all offer tasting, custom cocktails, retail shopping, and Heritage's signature programs like Cask Club. The Roslyn location makes a great day trip destination as it even has a relaxing lounge area with TVs and private rooms available for event rentals.

The spirits here are all made with as many local ingredients as possible.

This means you'll see things like lavender vodka, huckleberry vodka, and the award-winning brown sugar bourbon on the menu.

Each location also pays homage to the history of the Pacific Northwest.

As the name suggests, one of their goals is to celebrate the heritage of the communities they're in.

As if using locally sourced ingredients and their respect of our history isn't reason enough to love this company, they also give back to local causes.

Heritage Distilling is an active member of the community -- in fact, they've been rewarded with the Secretary of State’s "Corporations for Community" award for the state of Washington in 2015 and a "Manufacturer of the Year" Award from the Association of Washington Businesses in 2017.

When you check out your location of choice, make sure you sit down for a tasting before deciding what you'll take home.

And if you have the time, order a cocktail -- it will give you some great ideas for concoctions to make at home later (plus, the drinks are delicious).

Heritage Distilling operates two flagship locations in Gig Harbor, but the distilleries in Seattle and Roslyn are equally as beautiful.

If you like what you see, join a signature program like Cask Club, My Batch, and Spirits Club. Tours are also available upon request.

Heritage Distilling Company's distillery tasting rooms all open daily at 11 a.m. for your tasting and shopping pleasure.

Closing hours vary between 5 and 7 p.m.

If we're going to face uncertain times, we may as well enjoy ourselves. Visit one of Heritage Distilling Company's locations or shop online.
