Today I joined the Anacortes sketchers at the Deception Distillery in Anacortes. We got a tour of the distillery and adjoining barrel room as well as the warehouse full of beautiful marble slabs.

| These barrels are empty, waiting for a new batch of moonshine. The mystery object was discovered to be Roy's missing jet ski. |
Although it was an icy cold day and the warehouse wasn't much warmer, I just had to stay out there and sketch the barrels above me in the attic.

| Unaged whiskey is called moonshine |
The hammered copper kettle
with its pear shaped helmet and two steam columns looked like a
beautiful polished musical instrument. The staff nicknamed the still Jeannie, since it reminds them of the bottle from which a Genie appeared in fables.

| Paul, our host and guide, offered a taste of the Apple Pie and Blueberry
Apple Pie spirits or the gin. Needless to say, we all stayed cozy and
warm while sketching in the elegant tasting room! |
