Orcas Island Distillery
|
|
Launched in 2014, Orcas Island Distillery is intimately connected
to the agricultural history of our region. Our Pear and Apple Brandies
are made from fruit hand-picked from the island’s historic orchards and
offer flavor profiles unavailable in modern commercial orchards.
Until the coming of the modern highway system and irrigation east
of the mountains commerce was waterborne and these islands
were the fruit growing region of Washington State. But times have
changed and the heirloom varietals of the few ancient trees here
cannot be marketed profitably. For Orcas Island Distillery the
hundred-year-old trees that remain offer a unique opportunity to
create delicious fruit brandies with a subtlety of flavor that cannot
be duplicated.
Our Genever-style Gin is made from locally sourced, organic grain.
The barley is converted on our distillery floor before being distilled in
small batches in our potstills.
