"It’s been more than two years since one of Seattle’s top distilleries — Ballard’s Captive Spirits, known for its sole brand, Big Gin — announced a major expansion across Salmon Bay to Ballard-Interbay, but the facility is tentatively set to open June 28 at 1138 Ewing St., Suite C. In its new home, six-year-old Captive Spirits will have capacity to increase production of its popular gins, including a peat-barreled, a bourbon-barreled, and a London dry version, but most important for local fans is the addition of a tasting room with seasonal cocktails on draft, guest bartenders and business pop-ups, distillery tours, and limited release spirits." - Adam H.
