Gig Harbor-based Heritage Distilling Co. Inc. — a craft distiller of premium whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums and ready-to-drink cocktails — and the Coquille Indian Tribe of Oregon [Tuesday] announced the ground breaking for Oregon’s first tribally owned distillery and tasting room, which will be located at The Mill Casino-Hotel & RV Park on Coos Bay, in North Bend.
The project, designed by Gig Harbor’s Fi Architecture, is expected to open to the public by the end of the year.
Both Heritage- and Coquille-branded spirits will be produced and bottled on tribal land and sold at the casino’s several bars, restaurants, and retail outlets, Heritage said in a news release.
