If you’d like to try Ebb and Flow, a malt vodka and the first product from Sound Spirits (which has the distinction of being the first legal distillery in Seattle since prohibition), you can.

The tasting room is now open most evenings and weekends at 1630 15th Avenue West.

The catch, says distiller Steven Stone, is that Sound is still a one-man show. If he has to run an errand, the tasting room closes. Therefore, if you want to sample some spirits, call Stone first and let him know you are coming. The number to call is 206-651-5166.

In accordance with state law, each customer can purchase up to two bottles per day. I haven’t tried the vodka yet; Stone describes it as a "really flavorful neutral spirit" with a surprising sweetness courtesy of the malt.

Ebb and Flow should be showing up in local liquor stores and bars soon. The price is $31 per 750-mL bottle.
