What an amazing tour! From history to comedy Andy brings it all! His passion for the product really comes to show what measures they take to make such great bourbon and whiskey. Ps ask for the bread pudding recipe!

About Old Soldier Distillery
The first craft distillery in Tacoma was dubbed Old Soldier Distillery in part because of its heritage. Its spirits, which derive from old-fashioned corn whiskey, are made according to a Civil War–era recipe passed down from a distant relative. Check out the details of this traditional maker:
- The other reason for its name: owners Andrew Fairchok and Rodney Kaeding are both veterans
- The importance of the recipe: the small-batch whiskeys boast a unique and time-tested taste
- The other products: besides whiskey and bourbon, they also make fruit cordials and holiday spirits
- The distillery tours: their profits benefit the nonprofit Fisher House Foundation, which supports military families
