Built with a love for craft distilling, a flair for the extraordinary and a fearless creativity-3 Howls’ spirits will always leave you howling for more. 3 Howls’ mission is to create exceptional handcrafted spirits, with our own specific Northwest flavor.
We start with distinct base ingredients like European malted barley and sweet Barbados molasses. The whiskey is fermented in state-of-the-art stainless steel tanks; the rum in a large open-top cypress ferment tank. Next, the spirits are distilled using a 300-gallon copper-packed still. All of our vodkas and gin are flavored with all natural ingredients. Finally, all of our premium craft spirits are bottled, labeled and packaged by hand for your pure enjoyment.
Though we are proudly rooted in the Pacific Northwest, inspiration for 3 Howls distillery comes from all the way across the pond. Ankle deep in a peat bog on a distillery tour in Isla, Scotland, our Founder, Will, first heard the story of the Cu-Sith (pronounced koo-shee). Legend has it this giant hound roams Scotland’s highlands and moors, howling three times before he takes souls to the underworld.
The three howls of the Cu-Sith, combined with a tongue-in-cheek nod to those who love to howl at the moon after a cocktail or two, morphed together to form the brand that we now fondly call 3 Howls…

Business Owner
3 Howls Founder, Will Maschmeier is an experimenter at heart. His concoctions began in a «mad-scientist» kitchen, complete with beakers of fermenting wort and rows of infused vodkas. Will then set out to pursue his passion in every way he could. He trained at the Artisan Craft Distilling Institute, volunteered at local distilleries, and fermented anything he could get his hands on. After rounding out his skills with a bartending course, Will found his ultimate laboratory/distillery in SODO and has been crafting 3 Howls spirits there ever since.
