We had a tasting of their delicious whiskey and liquors. All of them were outstanding: raspberry, blackberry regular and with orange peel and loganberry. Service is amazing, of course it's a small place so owners and the makers of the stuff are serving you as well. After the tasting, we proceeded to have cocktails in their back patio which also has live music 2-4 pm on weekends. We actually came back for the live music and listened to lovely singer in their patio while sipping cocktails. And of course I had to bring home some of the liquors as they were too good to leave them there. Definitely a must do while on Whidbey island.

He told us that local restaurants like Prima Bistro in Langley uses their rye whiskey to make Old Fashioned (which we have tried unknowingly that the base whiskey was from here). We ended up purchasing a bottle of the rye whiskey which was light and easy to drink. Inside is small and cozy. There are outdoor spaces that's covered. We were told that there are live music events time to time. We will come back!

A friend recommended this distillery so we dropped in and had a flight of their whiskies. These are…read more100% barley whiskies so they seem very much like Scotch to me. My favorite of the four pictured was the 100-proof MaltSmith which is their flagship. I liked it a bit better than the single-farm single-season FarmSmith. I didn't care for the PeatSmith simply because I don't like peated whiskey. The Hand Fill was great but the 125 proof was just too much for me. We were well cared for by the young lady who served us. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name but we had a great conversation and she gave us many good recommendations. Thanks to her, we purchased a bottle of MaltSmith and got a membership to CopperWorks so that we can enjoy some of their whisky on a regular basis. We wish we could have taken a tour of the distillery and tried their gin. Next time!

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.

I wish I would have remembered the name of the sweet person who was so informative and engaging. I loved that we were offered a private tour of the distillery. It was fun to walk around as we sipped our gin and whiskey samples. What made the tour even better was to hear the history of the company and how well they treat their employees. The positivity definitely shines through and creates an even better customer experience. I ended up purchasing without doubt a bottle of Kur Gin. I am somewhat of a gin snob, this gin is so deliciously smooth you can drink it neat which I find to be rare for most gins. If you are looking for a tasty cocktail or want to know more about gin and whiskey stop by and visit Wildwood Spirits you won't be disappointed.

Wildwood Spirits is an awesome distillery. The owner owns many restaurants in the Seattle area and…read morehas started this distillery more for a passion to deliver high quality liquors at a affordable price. Everything we tried we loved and purchased. All liquors are bottled by hand. Their bourbon whiskey "The Dark Door" is a rare commodity. It's bottled once a year and always sells out at pre-sale. It's that good! They have a vodka "Stark Vatten" which translates to strong water. The keys to a great vodka are odorless, tasteless and colorless. Stark Vatten has all of those qualities to make a great vodka. Last but certainly not least, their gin "Kur" pronounced cure, is in a league of its own and has won many awards. It won awards in 2015,16 and 17 at San Francisco's World Spirits Competition. I recommend anyone to check out Wildwood Spirits, I'm certainly going back for more Dark Door, Stark Vatten and Kur.

Getting there, the drive was really simple and the surroundings beautiful. The distillery itself is tucked away in the back near some other garages. There is parking near there but it is limited. We chose to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day. The service there was great because the individual behind the bar was very attentive, asked us questions about what we liked, and gave recommendations based on our answers. We wanted to start off with the flight, which was a great option because it helped us really decide on the drinks we wanted to try out that were recommended to us. In the end we got two drinks each and walked away with a bottle of brandy and gin. Safe to say that we enjoyed what we tasted. Highly recommend if you are in the area and want a nice chill experience.

We decided to each do the 4 glass tasting for $15 and with 8 tastings total we got to taste most of what they had to offer. My boyfriend loved everything he tasted! I'm not really a big fan of darker liquors but I really loved the Harvest Gin and Eagle Harbor Brandy, I had to bring a bottle of each home to share.

They sell at farmers markets and also do tastings in private liquor stores with a discounted purchase. My favourites are the chocolate and coffee liquers. From the gin side, they have a bunch of unique offerings, including a Japanese one, but my personal preference is for the Seacider gin. The lemon lime and rhubarb gins are perfect for mixed drinks in the summer. The actual distiller was at the liquor store tasting I happened upon and apparently they use a local chocolatier's odds and ends to extract the chocolate flavour. At the distillery itself, they also had some nifty gift packs around the holidays. Prices are not cheap, but decent for a craft spirit and the size of the bottles, which are made from hefty glass. The tasting room is pretty small and bare bones. They seem to do decent traffic, though. But would be nice if they could add a patio area or expand and have some seating. I did have an issue with the stopper on the small coffee liquer bottle being a bit leaky, so watch out for that.
