2Bar Spirits - Bourbon Barreled

2bar Spirits is a craft distillery that opened its doors less than a year ago in the SoDo district of Seattle, Washington, and, along with a handful of other micro-distillers, are members of the emerging craft scene in what many consider the cultural and commercial epicenter of the Pacific Northwest. Basing his operation around the South Texas heritage of the family ranch, owner Nathan Kaiser produces spirits that are the embodiment of quality, independence, and hard work. With a commitment to local sourcing and an entirely handmade process, 2bar is a fine example of what sets craft culture apart.

Currently, 2bar is offering a moonshine and vodka, however they have recently barreled a bourbon as well. Here is the latest on that effort, in Nathan's own words:

Many of you have been asking about 2bar Bourbon. Well, I can confirm that it is coming along quite nicely. One of the requirements of the job is that we have to sample it… It already has the richness and flavor of a full bodied bourbon. We are just giving it a bit more time to round out the entire experience. We are proud to be producing bourbon from all local grains, in small batches and completely by hand.

Our plan is to first sell it out of our tasting room and we will be announcing its availability on Facebook.com/2barSpiritsand Twitter.com/2bar when it is ready. So please be on the lookout!
