The Hardware Distillery 24210 U.S. 101, Hoodsport, WA 98548

"Jan and Chuck created an amazing place that's full of life and ingenuity. We spent our anniversary in Hoodsport and stopped at The Hardware Distillery, it's one of our favorite places. Their son owns and operates a brewery nearby, which is also fantastic! Both places are a exceptional and worthwhile for anyone looking for an adventure off the beaten path!"

"What an incredible find! Really tasty whiskey, plus totally unique fermented honey wines and delicious gins and aquavit. An incredible treasure, owned and operated by someone who's clearly passionate about the craft of it. Chuck took the time to let us sample each and every delicious concoction, and we were truly impressed. Alchemy of the best sort."

"Can’t begin to say enough about Jan, Chuck, and the entire experience at Hardware Distillery. Made the pilgrimage 2+ hours from Seattle to Hoodsport with one goal in mind - get my hands on additional bottles of the Hardware Distillery Dill Aquavit (which is exceedingly tough to obtain other than in person). Was greeted with open arms, given a tour of the facility and a walk through the entire distilling process, and were treated to more samples than imaginable. Having tried a number of aquavits in my life - what I really like about Hardware Distillery is how incredibly smooth their spirits are - particularly because so much of their aquavit is distilled from pears. Ended up purchasing enough aquavit to last my friends and family a few years - time and money incredibly well spent. Thanks for the amazing experience!"

"Must stop pit stop! This little nook is one of the best craft distillery I have had tastings at. Majority of ingredients used are local and make this such a special thing. The owner is a fountain of knowledge and a fountain of fine liquor. Part store part distillery this small place is fun to explore. Peered into the distillery section while having the tasting, you can see the beautiful copper stills. Great Covid precautions, safe and simple without being overbearing about it. Needless to say after tasting literally everything!… we bought many bottles. Great flavors for everyday and some perfect for the holidays. It will be such a special treat when I serve it to my guests during upcoming holidays. There are couple sizes of bottles, including minis that make nice gifts to give. Not only would I go back, I would order and have it shipped. Bees knees with fig and the HyW 101 coffee liqueur were my top favorites followed by the rest! What a local treasure!"

"Very good and fun experience! The owner welcomed us and showed the whole distillation process, and he let us try many different gins, meads and aquavit they make."
