For those looking to raise a glass this Father’s Day, 2BAR Spirits in Seattle offers a heartfelt way to celebrate with their handcrafted, grain-to-glass bourbon. This family-owned distillery, the first in Seattle to craft bourbon from 100% Washington-grown grain, brings a taste of tradition and quality to every bottle. With a special Father’s Day promotion running through June 15, 2025, every purchase over $50 comes with a complimentary hand-etched 2BAR rocks glass—a $12 value that makes every sip feel like a tribute to the occasion.
Founded in 2010 by Nathan Kaiser, 2BAR Spirits is rooted in a legacy that stretches back to the Kaiser family’s fifth-generation ranch in South Texas. That heritage shines through in their commitment to crafting bourbon the old-fashioned way. The distillery, powered by an all-female production team, takes pride in handling every step of the process on-site—from milling and mashing local grain to fermenting, aging, and bottling. Over the years, they’ve milled more than 2 million pounds of Washington grain, creating a lineup of award-winning bourbons distributed across more than 20 states and internationally.
What sets 2BAR apart is their focus on making high-quality bourbon accessible. “We’re about family, tradition, and sharing great bourbon with the people who matter most,” Kaiser says. This philosophy is reflected in their approachable price points and the care they put into every bottle, ensuring each pour carries a story of craft and connection.
A Bourbon for Every Taste
2BAR Spirits offers a range of bourbons, each with its own character, perfect for gifting or enjoying during a quiet moment of reflection. Here’s a closer look at their core lineup, designed to suit a variety of palates and preferences:
- 2BAR Straight Bourbon Whiskey ($35.40, including taxes, before shipping)
- This 80-proof bourbon, aged for at least three years in new charred oak barrels, is the distillery’s flagship offering. It’s smooth and versatile, with rich notes of butterscotch, vanilla, cherry, and chocolate, finishing with a lingering hint of honey. Kaiser calls it “our most popular, easy-drinking, everyday whiskey,” making it an ideal choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned.
- 2BAR Bottled in Bond Bourbon ($63.02, including taxes, before shipping)
- As the only commercially available bottled-in-bond bourbon in the Northwest, this 100-proof expression is a standout. Aged for a minimum of four years in new charred oak barrels, it delivers bold flavors of butterscotch and vanilla with a deep, oaky chocolate finish. “This is for those who want a complex bourbon to savor neat,” Kaiser says. Its higher proof and rich profile make it a favorite for those who appreciate a robust, full-bodied whiskey.
- 2BAR Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon ($50.97, including taxes, before shipping)
- Aged for at least three years in new charred oak barrels and then finished in barrels from Sparkman Winery, this 90-proof bourbon offers a unique twist. The wine barrels add depth and complexity, with tannins that enhance the bourbon’s core flavors. “It’s great in a Manhattan,” Kaiser suggests, making it a go-to for cocktail enthusiasts looking to elevate their mixology game.
- 2BAR Amaretto Barrel Finished Bourbon ($50.97, including taxes, before shipping)
- A one-of-a-kind offering crafted in partnership with Sons of Vancouver Distillery, this 90-proof bourbon is aged for at least three years and finished in amaretto barrels. The result is a touch of sweetness and nuttiness that complements the bourbon’s traditional notes. Kaiser recommends trying it in a whiskey sour for a fresh take on a classic cocktail.
