J.P. Trodden Distilling has some of the best bourbon around! I've been wanting to check out JP's since it was formerly located in Woodinville and a friend who's a member raved about this place. But now that I've tasted it for myself, I can see myself returning for more bottles of bourbon. My friends and I were having a wine tasting day in the Maltby area, and decided to check out JP as our last stop. J.P. Trodden Distilling is a small-batch distillery, featuring bourbon whiskeys. The distillery is small, but has enough room for tastings and hanging out. I did the tasting flight, which included three bourbons, one whiskey and a maple syrup! All of the tastings were fantastic, and for anyone who likes dark liquors, JP is a spot to try. I ended up taking home a bottle of the single cask bourbon, but everything is great here. Staff was friendly and accommodating and it should be noted that there were free Seattle Chocolate truffles here! If straight up bourbons aren't your thing, they also have a couple cocktails that feature the bourbon to try. This was an awesome visit and one of many! read more

Came here on Saturday with some friends about an hour before they closed, great tasting, great service, great atmosphere!

Very cool place with very delicious whisky! We were super impressed with the flavor of every single option. The red label was our favorite and we had to grab a couple bottles of maple syrup too. Very happy we came here! Best Washington whisky I have had the pleasure of trying so far! The new building is really nice and the people doing the tasting were quite knowledgeable and happy to talk to us! We will have to come back! read more

Decided to check out one of these food truck days at JP Trodden with my whiskey-fan husband. The place was packed, and I advise anyone going with plans to get food at the food truck come EARLY because the line was miles long and by 3 they were almost out of food (website says the food truck is there til 5pm, but even one of the waiters said they usually run out a lot earlier). We got the flight, a Mule, a half pour of their 10 year, and a small old Fashioned. After a few sips of my mule, I realized to my horror and disgust that there was LIPSTICK on my glass. Vaccinated or not, I was disgusted. I took it back to the counter and they just said "oh, we'll make you a new one" and they did, but they said nothing about "sorry" or how something like that could slip by them. I couldn't help but question how clean any of the glasses were after that. The drink itself was ok, nothing spectacular. The mule definitely better than the old fashioned which I wasn't impressed by at all. The 10 yr was also ok, probably my favorite of all of them but definitely not worth the $300 price tag. When we went to leave, I was expecting an apology and even a comp-ed drink, but they didn't say a w. Glad we checked it out, but I'm still grossed out even today. I won't be back. Check your glasses here!! read more

Good service and educational since I am Not really a bourbon guy. Ended up enjoying some a could tell the difference after some comparison tastes. Still not a bourbon guy but everyone I took with me enjoyed it as well. read more

I stopped in at JP Trodden to pick up some bourbon maple syrup and a bottle of whiskey for a gift. When we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and asked if we wanted a tour. This was one of my first distillery experiences and I learned so much. The service was as excellent as their quality of products. These are spirits you want to keep around! One thing I really like about JP Trodden is all of the events they offer throughout the year. I am on their email list (the only send 1-2 emails a month if that) so I can stay informed about all of their cool happenings. They always have great themed events with music and cocktails. If you haven't visited JP Trodden yet get over there, you won't be disappointed! read more

Stopped in today as we were waiting for some wood fired pizza to finish In their parking lot. What an awesome place! If you do not get anything else do Yourself a favor and get some of their maple syrup! Is heavenly. read more

We were passing by and decided to stop for a tasting flight. The minus one star was for the very limited snack menu. Add more, like Marcona almonds, good crackers, Spanish mix, dry cheese, etc. to go with the tasting. We liked the selections and ended up buying the maple syrup because it was phenomenal. Out of the whiskeys we both liked the rye the best. It was a nice place to visit for an afternoon, read more

An exceptionally fun and informative tour was provided by Mara. Nice tastings but a bit short on the pour. They're moving soon to larger space, so good luck on that, their product is very top shelf. read more

J.P. Trodden Distilling is a small, craft bourbon distillery showcasing some fine flavors in the whiskey arena. While the space is very small, tucked away in an industrial park, and production is still limited, Mark Nesheim and Jennifer Seversen are coming out with a phenomenal product. The hours are pretty limited, but if you are in the area, it's certainly worth checking into to. They make you feel welcome and the hospitality is top notch. Good folks making great whiskey. read more

If you so much as mildly enjoy bourbon, make sure this is a stop of yours when in Woodinville. Great staff, delicious bourbon and syrup, and lots of knowledge to be shared. We can here after a family member's memorial to continue family time, and our bartender poured small shots for everyone in honor of our family member. I teared up, it's rare for a business to make people feel so special. Great company. read more

Bit of a wonky system for Passport holders! There are two tasting options. The first is free for everyone regardless of whether you have the passport or not. The second is $10 without the passport, $5 with the passport..... I can completely understand why smaller companies on the passport would do this, though this is the first time we've encountered it in all our passport visits (about 35) this year. The fact that they still processed passports for people who get the free option was also a bit strange. Beautiful products but the service left much to be desired. We came in about 30 mins before closing and the place was packed. Took us ages to be served. It was a total zoo and we couldn't get any of the servers attention. Our server was kind and delivered a rote-description very well but couldn't answer any of our questions, claiming she was too new. The other servers completely avoided eye contact, seemed to be exasperated about the crowd, and were (honestly?) a little greasy. At about 4:45 another customer came in and the server said (loud enough for everyone at the counter to hear?) "You're just arriving now?..... Well ok. But THATS IT." way to make customers feel welcome. Very disappointing for a place with some beautiful products. read more

I plan a Saturday around ensuring I have an opportunity to make it out to this small distillery in Woodinville. Their Bourbon Black is hands down some of the best I've ever tasted. While you're there, ensure you stay for a full tasting as their cocktail mix is equally superb. Try this place and you'll be thrilled you did. read more

Great place for fans of WA state bourbon! Their bottle is pricier than those big labels you find in the store, but their flavor is complex and multi-layered, and is something you can enjoy no matter the situation. When we visited they poured their black label neat, and also mixed in an old fashioned cocktail. Both were excellent! Tasting fee of $10 is waived with purchases over $75 and it's $5 extra to taste their premium bourbon. They also have a maple syrup that has been aged in bourbon barrels for 60 days, and the woman there was describing its many delicious uses beyond pancakes and waffles. The owner was also there and you can tell he takes great pride in his product and is happy to share with you. The entire production is right there in the warehouse, so it's neat to see all the equipment and barrels. Check it out! read more

Stopped in to swap a Christmas gift tshirt and spent two hours tasting whiskey, a snack and talking with Mara. Great unexpected adventure. Nice tasting room, good whiskey and Mara was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the bourbons and the rye was fantastic. Picked up a bottle of rye and maple syrup then went home and made an old fashioned. Next time I'll try one of the cocktails. Had a great time, will definitely go back and will definitely recommend. read more

Great local find with excellent service!! The bourbons are all amazing and the signature rotating cocktail is a wonderful bonus! Highly recommend !! read more

One of the best Bourbon distilleries on the West Coast!! If you like bourbons and want to taste the hidden diamond of Washington small batch bourbon, go here!! I went in the first time and talked to the owner. It's very refreshing to see an owner take such pride in his product and you can taste his passion for delicious bourbon with every sip. Make the trip to J.P. Troddens!! read more

Not bad! The whiskeys here were just OK... nothing to write home about. Service was OK also. It's just A-OK. Not bad, but not phenomenal. read more

Great spirits in a great atmosphere. Prior to trying their black label, I avoided bourbon because it burned my throat and I couldn't enjoy the flavors. Now I love this stuff. Smells great. It sits warm on the tongue for a few seconds then the flavors expand and get interesting. Then your nose and palette smile. Their red and blue labels are great too. All three bourbons taste like they are made for slow sipping and fun conversations with friends. Hell, they even have a bourbon barrel maple syrup. FYI they recently moved to the Maltby area near Flower World. It's not far from the Woodinville location and it's much bigger, has better parking, and it's a nicer place. I like the people there. They seem very local, low-key, friendly, and knowledgeable. Try it out and have an afternoon of slow sipping and relaxed, fun conversation. read more

I stumbled into this wonderful distillery after wine tasting next door. Their bourbon is top notch; sweet, savory, and warm without burning the back of my throat. It's easily the best bourbon I've had in a while. The owners and staff were very friendly and engaging. My experience all-around was wonderful. I will be back for more once I finish off my J.P. trodden bourbon. read more

JP Trodden Distilling - Best "Old Fashioned" I've ever had. It pairs well with chocolate. - Distilleries Near Me - Maltby, Washington

This place is a diamond in the rough. Found nestled in the Warehouse District, this is a CAN'T miss! My husband has found his new favorite and even though I am not much of a bourbon fan, they were even able to convince me. I loved how it is still unpretentious, and how the staff and owner took pride from process to product. We can't wait to visit again! read more

My wife and I went on a whiskey tasting weekend. A friend of ours and a distiller in Seattle told us to visit J.P. Trodden Distilling. What a great place, wonderful owners, and one of the best Bourbons I have ever had. Loved the tastings along with cocktail sampling with their Bourbon. This will be a stop for us when we are in the area on a weekend trip. Stock up on great Bourbon and visit with the owners. read more

This whiskey is new for me. I am drinking my second bottle in two weeks as I write this review. It is smooth at 90 proof and easy on the system. read more

I really love this place! We were out wine tasting when a friend told me about this. This is a great addition to the Woodinville wine district. The Bourbon was so good and the story behind the name makes you feel apart of this family. They also have Bourbon Maple Syrup - yes you heard me right. And its amazing! read more

Fantastic people and the bourbon was excellent, so much fun to get a group together and test the "water ".
