A new distillery has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The fresh addition to Ballard, called Heritage Distilling Co., is located at 1836 NW Market St.
Based in Gig Harbor, WA, Heritage Distilling Co. "is the most awarded craft distillery in North America by the American Distilling Institute five years in a row" (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), according to the company's website.
The new outpost in Ballard is its fifth location, offering tastings of the popular BSB (Brown Sugar Bourbon), flavored vodkas (in varieties like blood orange, coffee and cherry lime), Elk Rider gin and more. Bottles are available for purchase, and drinkers can also seek membership in the Cask Club or Spirits Club, which entitle them to certain bottles and discounts for an annual fee.
It's still early days for Heritage's newest location—it's got just one review on Yelp thus far.
Jessica S., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on May 12, said, "This place is awesome! The staff is great and the vibe is so cool. Perfect fit for Ballard. I joined the Cask Club and snagged a cask to fill with a single malt, so I'll be sampling that in the near future."
Head on over to check it out: Heritage Distilling is open from noon–8 p.m. on Monday-Wednesday, noon–9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m.–7 p.m. on Sunday.
