Whidbey Island Distillery

Whidbey Island Distillery is a family owned business run by three generations of the Heising family. We set out in 2009 to make distilled spirits on Washington's own Whidbey Island, and in September 2011 we sold the first bottle of our Loganberry Liqueur. Bev and Steve Heising bought 9 acres of beautiful Whidbey Island hillside in 2009. They renovated existing buildings to include a distillery building (the Bunker), a residence (the Bunk House), a tasting room, and other multi-use buildings on the property. Since then the Whidbey Island Distillery has become a recognized producer of some of finest spirits in the world. Among numerous awards, our Blackberry Liqueur holds a 98 rating by the Beverage Testing Institute making it the highest rated spirit (of any kind) produced in North America.

This small distillery is just a little way off of 525 and so worth the stop. Their tasting (one rye whiskey and four berry liqueurs) is free and our guide, Mike, was very informative and helpful. We like a good rye and this one has a nice honey/citrus front to it so we bought a bottle and also got the loganberry liqueur which has a good complex flavor. Check out their website for some fun recipes.

Mutiny Bay Distillery

Mutiny Bay Distillery is a producer of artisan craft whiskey and liqueurs from premium local ingredients, and the proud producer of the first aged whiskey on Whidbey Island. Each hand-made small batch reflects the character of the grains, the barrel-aging process, and the distiller's artistic imprint.

Pacific Northwest Naval Air Museum

The Pacific Northwest Naval Air Museum (formerly the PBY-Naval Air Msueum) presents the history of Naval aircraft based at NAS Whidbey Island and other Air Stations throughout the Pacific Northwest from WWI through the present. Exhibits include an actual PBY-5A aircraft, many interactive exhibits including flight simulators that are favorites of kids, young and old.

Reviewed By Q3339EAdanielr

The museum was awesome, great information about the history of the PBY Catalina and the workers there knew even more. They answered the questions I had very well and were extremely friendly. I would definitely go again and I would donate again as I heard they are trying to move into a bigger space so they can display even more of what they have. The workers there even stayed late to show us the plane on the other side as we had come about 45 minutes before closing. Amazing museum. Highly recommended.
