BIRD CREEK WHISKEY TRAILHEAD

From seed to sip, our whiskeys are crafted with rare and heritage barleys grown across the Pacific Northwest. Every bottle tells a story: the farmers who cultivate the grain, the distillers who shape its character, and the aging process that brings it to life in new American oak barrels.

  • Most Awarded Whiskey

    Our most highly awarded whiskey, Baronesse Cask Strength, captures the boldest expression of this exceptional Pacific Northwest barley. Sourced from Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax, Washington, Baronesse is prized for its smooth, balanced character and excellent malting quality.

    Bottled straight from the barrel, this whiskey delivers rich notes of sweet caramel and a hint of graham cracker, enhanced by the depth of new American oak. Distilled with the same process as Scotch yet crafted to appeal to bourbon, Canadian, and Scotch drinkers alike, Baronesse Cask Strength embodies our commitment to whiskey from seed to sip.
