Distillery launches in Sisters

Cascade Street Distillery announces its launch with the opening of its tasting room in downtown Sisters. Located at 261 W. Cascade Ave., the tasting room is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Cascade Street Distillery is a local, family-run artisan spirits company passionate about creating artisan spirits that are smooth and delicious. Cascade Street has recently introduced its first spirit, North Sister Vodka. Made from 100 percent American corn grain distilled six times and then filtered six times to achieve a clear 180 proof base.

The base is blended with the best water on earth to create a perfect sipping vodka as smooth, fresh and clean as a high alpine lake.

"We're excited to be opening our tasting room in Sisters. We have a vision to provide smooth-tasting spirits made from the best ingredients on earth - it's our attention to combine the best water on earth with the finest grains that makes our North Sister Vodka one of the best in the country," said Nick Beasley.

Future plans call for the introduction later this spring of South Sister Gin. Cascade Street has also started the aging process on its Broken Top Bourbon that will be ready in 2017. In addition to the tasting room in Sisters, Cascade Street has started work on a new distillery located in an historic barn in Sisters.
