The sleeper town of Steilacoom, WA is home to a new distillery. Kevin Laughlin Stewart, along with his wife Jennifer, opened Port Steilacoom Distillery back in December 2012. On a research trip with a fellow wannabe moonshiner, I visited their nautical themed tasting room earlier this week.
Warm and welcoming, Kevin took us back to his "lab" where he explained the whole distillation process. Answering all of our questions and sharing his own experiences was beyond helpful. After opening up the jar of juniper berries for us to smell, we sampled his Homeport Gin. Not being much of a gin girl, I was hesitant. However, Kevin's aromatically tantalizing citrus infused honey based gin was nothing more than amazing. His Chambers Bay Vodka was equally crisp and delicious. With a spiced spirit in the works, it is safe to say I will be back to this tasting room very soon.
