On December 12, House Spirts Distillery, one of my favorite distillers released their new Whiskeys. So, I went out and took my camera with me. Here’s a nice shot of the lines of people waiting for whiskey samples. The man in the middle is Matt Mount, one of the distillers at House Spirits. You might see him at an RPM event.
They are releasing three whiskeys. The first two beauties have been aged in New American Oak for around 2 1/2 years. One is a limited apothecary run of cask strength malt whiskey weighing in at 60% alcohol (boo-yah). The other is a not-as-limited run of straight malt whiskey in larger 750 ml bottles. Along with these they’ll also be releasing a limited-run of the pre barrel-aged elixir known as “white dog,” “white lightning,” or “moonshine.”

I was so excited to get my hands of a bottle of my own. This will keep me company during the winter months in Portland.
Of course, we can’t forget the lovely ladies working the register. I was glad I was able to get a free moment because they were super busy all day.
All types of House Spirits alcohol were free for sampling.
