Tatoosh Distillery was founded in 2009 by longtime friends, Troy Turner and Mark Simon, in Seattle, Washington. Both had whiskey loving great-grandfathers -- Troy's was a moonshiner during Prohibition and Mark's sold bottles of Jack west of the Mississippi. Through this, they were inspired to produce craft spirits that highlight ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. Tatoosh Rye is distilled from local rye grains (about 70% rye and 30% corn), mashed and fermented before going through copper pot stills. It ages for an undisclosed period of time in new American oak barrels with a #4 char. Bottled at 43% ABV.
