Howard Jacob Single Malt Whiskey wins the highest honor for Single Malt Whiskey in Sip Magazine Best of the Northwest 2021 competition. “We only use a single barrel per batch, and each barrel is unique,” said Eric Howard, co-owner and distiller. “We knew this French Oak Barrel was special and would make an exceptionally smooth whiskey.”
Each barrel is aged a minimum of four years. “It can’t be rushed,” said Howard. Howard relies on his sense of adventure and his eye for details to create the Howard Jacob Whiskey. Every great whiskey starts with a great base. Brewing with the finest 2-row malts, the whiskey “wash” is created by their sister company, Deluxe Brewing.
The Howard Jacob Single Malt Whiskey wasn’t the only win for Sinister Distilling. They also won Silver for their Anchor Rose Pineapple Rum. It is a new spirit for the distillery. You can find all the Sinister Spirits in their Tasting Room located at 635 NE Water Ave in Albany and at certain OLCC liquor stores.
