Woodinville Whiskey Dinner April 3rd
The story of Woodinville doesn’t begin with a 100-year-old recipe or generations of family distillers. It starts with two best friends, Orlin Sorensen and Brett Carlile, and their shared dream of proving that the best whiskey doesn't have to be made in Kentucky. Or Scotland. It can be made in Washington State.
Orlin and Brett had a strong belief from the beginning: to make the best liquids, you can't cut corners and must do things the right way, even if they're inefficient. The highest quality locally grown grains, the best barrels and coopers in the world, the most technologically advanced distilling equipment, and the mentorship of an industry icon: David Pickerell, former Master Distiller for Maker’s Mark.
Join us for a tasting seminar of the whiskeys followed by a three-course dinner paired with cocktails by Bourbon's chef/owner, Kristian Niemi. Menu coming soon.
