Short Path Distillery, Everett

"Short path distillation" is a technical, scientific term. According to Short Path Distillery owners Zachary, Jackson, and Matt, it refers to a smaller distance between the sites where the wash evaporates and where it condenses. This, in their words, leads to "more flavorful and complex" gins, rums, and more. Their creations—which include three types of gin and two rums, plus ouzo, pommeau, and Triple Sec—also owe their bold mosaic of flavors to the locally sourced, organic ingredients. When those painstakingly curated elements meet scientific advancements and old-world distilling techniques, the result is artisan spirits equally suited to mixology and plain sipping.
