The Northwest Whiskey Trail
Have you ever been on a whisky trail before? Of course, you get to taste a lot of different whiskies, but there is a lot more to it. Firstly whisky trails do visit distiller centers and plantations, and some of them can be from alarming to spooky.
Secondly, there can be breathtaking scenery that forms eternal memories and soul-freeing moments. Take for example the Madrekin Berg wine plantation in Croatia, which is set on one of the highest points in the country. Tourists can peek all the way to Holland.
Let’s get back to this current trail. It dots three of star-spangled states and encompasses seven whisky distilleries.
The journey leads tourists through British Columbia, Washington State, and Oregon, and will include tours of the following seven distilleries and their facilities.
- Westward Whiskey
- Copperworks Distilling
- Westland Distillery
- Macaloney’s Island Distillery
- Goldstream Distillery
- Shelter Point Distillery
- Deep Cove Brewers & Distillers.
No tasting too much now. Visitors can learn more about the distilling process at each distillery and sample their displayed whiskies. Some distilleries may have up to 15 different products and sometimes will let visitors try different flavors.
At one distillery in Montego Bay, Jamaica, tourists were allowed to try five of ten displayed whiskies and receive a complementary ¼ flask if they choose to buy. No wonder the trip is so hard to get in.
Stamp Collections
if you are looking to fill your travel document with souvenirs, then you may want to collect stamps from some of the distilleries that you visit. However, some distilleries offer special wooden flags made from bourbon barrels.
I know exactly hope it sounds. Yet these flags are small and easily placed on your desk, table, bookshelf, or even your vehicle dashboard.
As the trail twist and turns, you will discover vivid landscapes and remarkable scenery as I mentioned before., from the British Columbia coastlines to the rolling hills of Washington State.
