The story of Dry Fly Distilling begins with Don Poffenroth and Kent Fleischmann, knee-deep in a Pacific Northwest river, just outside the lie on a scenic bend. Early in the morning, with the sun rising behind the alders, the two friends discussed how fortunate they were to live, work, and play in one of the most amazing places on Earth. That conversation hatched an idea to find a way to share their mutual love of hand-crafted spirits and the natural beauty and purity of the Northwest. Dry Fly Distilling was born.
