Woodinville Whiskey Co.
Season 2 • Episode 3
Design vs. Build: The Series
Woodinville, WA / Quincy, WA
In 2009, Brett Carlile and Orlin Sorensen took a lengthy business plan plus a small business loan and started Woodinville Whiskey Co. The challenge was to create a better bourbon outside of Kentucky. Now, they are distributed across the country and have received countless awards and accolades. This episode explores what makes WWCo. different, and how Graham Baba Architects was able to embrace site constraints and budget and deliver well-designed, elegant buildings.
