      Very much enjoyed this place. Went to the location by waterfront piers. Did two tastings (gin and core). Gin: The standard gin was fair. Seemed to be more london dry in style. Smooth but by self was not something would drink straight (gin is my drink choice and I do enjoy sipping straight). The barrel aged gin was fantastic. Highly recommend this gin for those who tend to prefer whiskey or aged brandy as it encapsures the vanilla and caramel components from the barrel and really played well with their gin. The tonic barrel aged gin was crisp on the palate but had a lingering burn on the tongue and a bit more bitter after taste. The plum gin was a beautiful color and had a nice natural sweetness from the plums resting in their gin. Abv just under 30% on this one. Would be great mixer for home cocktail.
      Whiskey: quite tasty. This was a five grain whiskey on the flight. They have several other whiskeys though didn't sample.
      Vodka: A tremendous vodka. Very smooth with a softness to it which would mix well or be easy shot. It went down dangerously easy. Had a body to it, almost a soft vanilla character. I really enjoyed this spirit and would say this may have been my favorite of the lineup (which am normally not much of a vodka person). This is far far better than Grey goose, Titos, belvedere, so on and so forth.

      My boyfriend and I love Copperworks Distilling! We first came here for a tour of their facilities and a spirits tasting. They're very generous with their portions, and the guides are super knowledgeable about all things distilling!

      One of my favorite experiences in Seattle though was their whiskey blending workshop. I bought my boyfriend and me tickets as his birthday gift, and while it's a little on the pricier side, I think it was definitely worth it. It was a three hour experience where we started with a tasting of four different casks. We had unlimited chances to refill as we went, as the intention was to ultimately combine and blend them into a custom bottle! We were able to blend, pour, and label our own bottles to take home, and it was a super fun and unique experience. They even provided some food and snacks near the end. Would definitely recommend for any other whiskey lovers out there!

      $15 dollars will get you an amazing taste of three whiskeys. Each whiskey comes from a bottle worth $60-$100+ dollars. The water dropper allows to "open" up the flavors. The vibe here is super chill and friendly despite offering high quality and top shelf whisky. Not pretentious at all. If you're in the Emerald city and find this spot open, do it!! Taste the delicious flavors. Be careful, it's high octane and addictive.

      An interesting downtown Seattle distillery. The distilling process is explained to you in detail. You can purchase their products & have it mailed back home to you.

      We wandered in sort of by accident. We saw their sandwich board sign for tastings and tours and decided "what the heck! Let's see what this is all about!"

      We were not disappoint. We enjoyed their whiskey tasting, and got a great lesson on the distillary process. Our service was so friendly and accommodating. We felt like we were the only and most important people in Copperworks that day!

      It's definitely worth a drop in and a purchase!

      Copperworks was a pleasant unexpected surprise. Our visit to a distillery in the center of the tourist area was the highlight of a whiskey intensive day. The facility is unique with a unique charm of the location and the customization of an urban space to a liqour producing distillery. The tour was interesting and the guide fabulous. We all enjoyed the tasting, the additional samples and took a couple of bottles home to extend the joy over time.

      Cute place right across the street from the aquarium. Service was great. It was nice to learn about how they make their products.

      My fave was their vodka.

      Check them out!

      Such a cute little tasting room- where you are able to sit down, taste test different flavors of Gin, Whiskey and they have 1 Vodka. We decided to taste the Vodka it was very smooth and tasteful. Sad we missed the distillery tour- they have a 2pm and a 4pm tour on Saturdays and we walked in at 4:15pm. The staff was really knowledgeable and really nice and helpful. Overall it was a fun little experience. Highly recommended if you're in the area !

      Stopped in with the intent on buying a bottle and bringing it back with me to Cali. Found out a flight is comped if you buy a bottle. Also found out, if you get it shipped, it's tax free from the outrageous Seattle spirit tax. It gets better, if you spend over a certain amount (2 bottles) it's free fedex shipping to Cali. Also, every bottle you buy, a flight it comped. So left after two free flights, two bottles on its way and a really good nightcap!

      Their Gin and Whiskey is really good. Also, their vodka is decent as well. Highly recommend!

      Stopped here after going to the Seattle Aquarium. Had the gin whiskey and vodka flight. The bartender gentleman was very friendly and provided us information about Seattle.

      The flight was very good. Came during the tourist off-season so wasn't jam-packed.

      Thought this was of the best places we visited.
