Coming out of its den, hometown distiller 3 Howls is introducing three new craft spirits with a full moon launch party in Belltown on October 17th that will feature custom cocktails specially mixed from 3 Howls’ newest offerings, showcasing the label’s fearless creativity.
3 Howls Blood Orange Vodka uses dehydrated oranges locally sourced from the distillery’s next-door neighbor in Sodo (Simple & Crisp) to give it’s Blood Orange Vodka a bright, slightly spicy, not-overly sweet taste. The vodka is then run through a gin still packed with rose petals, giving the spirit deep floral notes.
3 Howls Good Old Fashioned Gin is based off of a Plymouth gin style, but refined for a more modern palette. The spirit is smooth and slightly sweet, with floral notes and a nose of subtle lemon.
3 Howls Bananas Foster Vodka can be sipped straight on ice, or blended to make an innovative cocktail. It’s dessert in a glass. 3 Howls uses ripe bananas, all-natural botanicals, vanilla beans, cinnamon and caramelized sugar for a bold, complex and smooth spirit.
