Tatoosh Distillery was founded in 2009 by longtime friends, Troy Turner and Mark Simon, in Seattle, Washington. Both had whiskey loving great-grandfathers -- Troy's was a moonshiner during Prohibition and Mark's sold bottles of Jack west of the Mississippi. Through this, they were inspired to produce craft spirits that highlight ingredients from the Pacific Northwest.

Tasting Notes

"Tatoosh distills a brash, spicy rye, which takes on caramel and vanilla sweetness from its time in heavily charred oak barrels. The finish lingers long and enjoyably. At a higher proof it might be too much to handle, but at 43% abv it's in the range for imbibing neat or over ice. "
