The Hardware Distillery Co., Hoodsport

Must stop pit stop! This little nook is one of the best craft distillery I have had tastings at. Majority of ingredients used are local and make this such a special thing. The owner is a fountain of knowledge and a fountain of fine liquor. Part store part distillery this small place is fun to explore. Peered into the distillery section while having the tasting, you can see the beautiful copper stills. Great Covid precautions, safe and simple without being overbearing about it. Needless to say after tasting literally everything!… we bought many bottles. Great flavors for everyday and some perfect for the holidays. It will be such a special treat when I serve it to my guests during upcoming holidays. There are couple sizes of bottles, including minis that make nice gifts to give. Not only would I go back, I would order and have it shipped. Bees knees with fig and the HyW 101 coffee liqueur were my top favorites followed by the rest! What a local treasure!

I love this place. They are extremely knowledgeable of the practice and art of distilling fine spirits, and they keep the scandinavian spirit alive. They even sell bottles in the shape of tomtes, which is awesome!

A good stop in Potlatch! The owner/distiller is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of distilling and blending flavors. We enjoyed trying whisky, gin and went home with a bottle of gin. The shop is pet friendly!

Stopped in after a beautiful hike at the recommendation of a friend - will definitely be back for more! Run by a lovely couple who were friendly, welcoming, and excited to share in their passion for spirits. The adorable shirts are designed locally and super soft. But most importantly, their spirits were top notch! Highly recommend taking home a bottle of their Cardamom Aquavit. Certainly will become a shelf staple for myself! Bonus points, their son owns the lovey brewery a few shops down.

I tried a tasting of six aquavits, three of which were imports from Scandinavia; Hardware's cardamom aquavit was either the best outright, or tied first-place with a premiere Icelandic selection. Absolutely go here if you're passing through.
