Long Hiatus From This Board - 07/10/13 12:53 PM

Can't tell you guys the last time I wet a line.

Life has been too busy to even sum up in a post here.

I've been feeling like a modern day Forrest Bondurant.

This project has been 2yrs in the making.

You can find store locations near you by punching your zip code into the "Store Locator" feature on our website.

Thanks Andy.

Maybe one of these days I'll be able to venture out into local waters but with the landslide of activity lately I likely be relegated to road time and furiously bottling booze grin

Time to have a PP bottling party! The Woodinville Whiskey Co. has a bottling party once per week, costs them a a pizza and a few tastes per bottler. Of course, a PP crowd might consume a bit more....

Well,......I've got about 90 cases of gin to bottle by Friday so I'm all for it.

Would be happy to post upcoming bottling runs on here if anyone is interested.

Usually I have friends and family come and help out. Although,.......after doing a run of the little 50ml bottles for some reason they don't answer the phone the second time around grin

The consuming part is easy,.....as the guy at Sam Adams always says;

"I can always make more" thumbs

Best way to find it Doc is to go here and punch in your zip code;

http://www.wishkahriver.com/store_locator

As of right now we are in about 200 liquor retailers in Washington. Another 40 or so in Oregon. First shipment to SoCal this month. Idaho soon to follow.

If you're looking for a specific product like the gin it's best to find the store nearest you that carries WRD,.......then call to make sure they have the product you're looking for. Not all stores carry the entire product line.

Hope that helps.

Cool - a bonafide business man, right thar on the ol' Wish-kah.

Looks like you have been busy, indeed. Welcome back.

Didn't Willie Nelson write a song about you guys? Something about drowning in a Wishkah River?

Well more like out on Port Industrial but who's counting right?

People call us "Whiskey River" quite often and I'm perfectly fine with that thumbs

Best of luck in your new venture.
I see they sell your product at the Central Market located near me. I'll pick up a bottle next time I'm there.

Nice SW They have it at BevMo in town. No sure about the gin yet but will stop by in a bit after work to check it out.

Re: Long Hiatus From This Board - 07/10/13 02:59 PM

Thanks stonefish!

We may not have replaced the old labels at that Central Market yet so you won't see there what you see in the photo. If you're going there look for a blue label with 2 swishes on it. You'll see why I changed them once you see those.

ML Terrace Liquor, Crown Hill, and Edmonds Liquor will all have the new-look stuff though,.......and probably more of our products to choose from. Just a thought.

Correction; BevMo used to carry it. When we dropped our distributor and decided to self-distribute BevMo told us they don't deal with independents,...... go figure. Thank you for pointing that one out,.....I'll have to go back and correct it.

You be able to find the gin at High Spirits in Poulsbo though. Stop in and tell Glenn and Peter that Josh says hello.

Re: Long Hiatus From This Board - 07/10/13 03:07 PM

If you're looking for the aged stuff you'll want to wait a couple of weeks,....or check out Wine World on 45th. I think they took one of my last cases of that about a week ago.

First batch was released last month and we went through just over 200 bottles in a few days. There are a few straglers out at a few liquor stores close to us but "Batch #1" will be hard to find. Wine World on 45th I know has a few bottles of Batch #1 left there.

Batch #2 will be available at more stores over the next few weeks.

If you do the facebook thing you can follow us there. We usually post frequent updates about availability of the different products and where they can be found.

Cheers to the success of your biz.

I have tried the pre-aged version of the whiskey, really looking forward to trying the aged version, and the gin too.

I think have tried the Vodka at one of the beer/wine festivals, but its a bit hazy.

Oh there'll be no need for that,......unless of course you prefer to lick it up off the floor.

I've got a few stashes of some "distiller's cut" batches around for such occasions thumbs

We usually place in bars/restaurants at request of the bar manager unless they are high value targets.

Would be happy to send my sales girl into the places you mentioned.

Names of establishments?

Shoot 'em over and we'll hit 'em up. Maybe I'll shoot you a wholesale price sheet and you can show up in a banana hammock.

Outta ink the deal right then and there. thumbs
