The Stillaguamish Tribe has partnered with Heritage Distilling Company to bring a tasting room to the Angel of the Winds Casino Resort in Arlington.
Heritage, a craft distillery, previously established the Tribal Beverage Network (TBN), a “first-of-its-kind" partnership with Native American Tribes. this aimed to develop Heritage-branded distilleries, brands, and tasting rooms for patrons of Tribal casinos and entertainment venues.
This tasting room will be the first ever within a Tribally owned casino in the Pacific Northwest and will feature the craft distiller’s selection of whiskeys, vodkas, gins and rums, as well as mixologist-guided tastings, and specialty cocktails that will utilize local ingredients, with a food menu also available.
