We stopped in for a visit and Paul took care of us, and I've got to say, he made the whole thing feel like we were getting a private tour from someone who lives and breathes the craft. He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and answered every question we tossed his way without ever making it feel like a lecture. We ordered a couple of flights, and the best part was being able to mix and blend different whiskey styles ourselves. It wasn't just "sip and move on", we actually got to play with flavor, compare notes, and build our own combinations. That alone made the visit memorable, but the whiskey itself sealed the deal. Rich and full of character, every pour had something interesting to say. What we appreciated most was that we never felt rushed. We were given time to explore, talk through the flavors, enjoy the moment, and just be there. It's rare to find a place where the experience feels personal and unrushed, and Copperworks nailed it. If you're in Seattle and want something unique, educational, and delicious, visit here. Sit down, take your time, and let the whiskey do the talking.

We ordered a few of their specialty cocktails, as well as an incredible whiskey sour. The bartender was great and had all our drinks out quickly. At first, we were surprised that they didn't have TVs, so kind of gave up on the idea of watching the game, but they suddenly popped out a projector and had the game on the wall for us to watch! The space is a bit dark but perfect for the projector setup, or for a pre or post-dinner drink. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're in the Interbay area, we'll be back!

Founded in 2010, Westland Distillery (located in SODO [SOuth of DOwntown], a neighborhood in…read moreSeattle's industrial district) is a leader in the American single malt whiskey scene. Its Garryana Edition 8 was ranked #3 in Whiskey Advocate's list of 'Most Exciting Whiskey's of 2023'. My wife and I had a chance to visit SODO on a gorgeous October day, and even though we couldn't take their sold-out distillery tour ($25 per adult), still had a wonderful time sampling their wares and enjoying the educational interaction with their whiskey enthusiasts/employees. Westland got acquired by Remy-Cointreau [French company; 3rd largest cognac distiller in the world; created as union between Remy-Martin (founded in 1724) and Cointreau (1849)]. It's MO is to use ingredients from the Pacific Northwest (barley, water, peat), and with its similar cool maritime climate, produce Scotch-like whiskeys (only whiskey from Scotland can be called Scotch, though Scotch doesn't have to be ONLY malted barley). American single malt is now an official US legal classification (since Jan 19, 2025). 'Single' refers to one distillery producing the bottle, and 'Malt' meaning it only uses malted barley as its grain. (The most popular American whiskey is bourbon, mostly made of corn and aged similarly). BG and Trista were our whiskey guides, both knowledgeable and friendly. The lounge had a variety of seating, designed for easy conversation and sipping. A whiskey flight ($13.60, $10 off with purchase) consists of 4 choices (out of 8 offered), so we shared two flights to get the full effect. Getting nibbling snacks [La Panzanella crackers ($5) with Beecher's cheese curds ($12)] that went well with the whiskeys, was a smart choice. Flagship (92 proof) Beer Cast (92) Wine Cast (92) Coleve 4 (100) Garryana 9 (100) Garryana 7 (100) 7862 (106.6) Solum 3 (100) To my pleasant surprise, my wife got really into it, sipping/tasting right along with me. We were able to get 4 (tasting) sips per UK dram. My favorite was the 7862, and my wife's was the Wine Cast (which was Trista's favorite as well). The Flagship is the most popular, and readily available at retail stores. The Solum (8 - 12 ppm) is their peated whiskey, and I couldn't discern the peat (as opposed to something like Laphroaig 10 which has 5 - 10 ppm). As it usually occurs (and supposed to happen), the really enjoyable experience got me to buy (and pay retail price) some of their product to take home. BG did mention that some of their product was sold in California (similar price but far lower tax), and did find their flagship product in liquor stores in Long Beach (also sold in Amazon Fresh stores). I ended up getting a 700ml of their available single cast program (No 7862), aged 9 years for $99, and a 375ml Flagship ($39.99) for my son-in-law. We had come right when the lounge opened, so there still wasn't anybody else there when we left about an hour later. I know that American distilleries are having a tougher time in this political climate while our friendly neighbors up North are shunning American spirits. Nice to support, especially when the product and service are this good. Notes: -- Taxes for retail sold spirits are very high in WA state. 20.5% sales tax and $3.77 per liter tax. -- Phenol parts per million (PPM) are used to measure 'peatiness' in whiskey. Peat (partially decayed plant matter) is used as fuel to roast the malted barley. -- Love the fact that Seattle's climate matches Scotland. When we took a tour of the Nikka distillery in Japan, we learned similar things. It's definitely about it's sense of place (water, type of wood barrel, maturation process). And it was cool that the founders (Nikka, Westland) lived in Scotland to get educated in the process.

They collaborate with nearby mills and coopers to craft casks from Quercus garryana--aka Oregon oak--which adds a bold, spicy, nutty twist to their Garryana series. Westland uses a Washington state peat bog for their peated whiskeys. Their specific peat bog is on land purchased by a retired deputy from Joint Base Lewis McChord. It's whiskey with a Pacific Northwest soul: distinctive, layered, and anything but ordinary. After the tour we enjoyed a guided tasting of four whiskeys. The tasting room is beautiful, reclaimed from its former life as a crane factory. While there is parking in a lot on the side of the building, it is clear marked as a high prowl area and there were two fresh car windows on the ground, as if to prove it. Street parking felt like a much safer option, with more visibility. Because Westland is located in a more industrial neighborhood, there was plenty available. Cheers.

It was a Friday night. We met when his Rod Dog van pulled up to the curb of the Four Seasons. He…read moregot out of the van and that's when we first met. We shook hands; he introduced himself as Andrew and I introduced myself as Rana. I eventually found out that he was engaged to be married; his wedding was two and a half months away. I was a little heart broken, but decided we could still be best friends. The only problem is that I was visiting from West Hartford, CT. Andrew was our tour guide for the Road Dog Brewery Tours, which we found through Google. He was attentive, and was too good to our group of 12, filled with drunk asses and a Seattle Seahawks player trying to make the 53-man roster. He took us to Bad Jimmy's, Hillyard's and Outlanders. I was impressed by all! He explained the beer making process at Hillyard's and gave us a tour of the brewery. If anything; Andrew knew his shit; he had his beer facts together. He took into consideration our preferences and drunkeness when serving us the beer. At the end of the day, I was as heart broken when finding out Russell Wilson was with Ciara when I found out Andrew was engaged to be married. But his attentiveness and beer knowledge mindedness still won me over. He was simply the best. P.S. Yes, I am writing this review while still slightly inebriated post tour, with rosy-colored beer glasses on.

We started at a bar near pike place market and tried two small servings of cocktails serving liquors from local distilleries. One was a negroni featuring gin from Copperworks and the other was a Moscow mule using hopped whisky from Three Howls. Next we drove to Copperworks where we got an in depth tour from one of the owners of their beautiful still. We tried four different liquors they make. Pours were pretty generous. Next up we went to another distillery that was also very nice and pleasant and last up was three howls that was awesome. Everyone we met was clearly really passionate about their craft and excited to have us come through. Our tour guide Jason told us a lot about the history and process of washington's distilleries. Id definitely go back on this tour or another with this group.

We originally stopped in just for drinks, so the high quality food and snacks was a wonderful surprise. The drinks didn't disappoint. I loved the fruity cocktails, like the Blackberry Sour, and my husband was impressed with the whiskey selection. Whether you're in the downstairs courtyard or on the rooftop patio with the fire pits, it's the kind of place you want to sit and stay a while. It's an ideal outdoor summer spot within walking distance of all the shops, but it also has a nice winter whiskey tasting vibe as well. Only thing to note is their hours are a bit funky, so be sure to double check before you head over.

How is it $18 after tax if my drink was only $13 so just be careful and check how much they are tipping themselves cause it was my first drink not sure if she thought i was drunk and wouldn't notice. Horrible experience just for that i wouldn't go again!! I was thinking of tipping her but she didn't even give me the chance she took it and tipped herself that's what got me mad, you should never do that!! You can tell that definitely was not her first time doing that!
