The Ballard Cut

07/24/2026

This is one of those posts we never want to make.

After exhausting every option, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our August 8 Single Barrel Event.

The barrels we’ve been waiting on have been delayed in shipping, and rather than put on anything less than the experience we promised, we’d rather hit pause and do it right.

Everyone who purchased a ticket (including any donations made through GiveButter) will automatically receive a full refund. Refunds will begin processing today and should appear back on your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

To everyone who planned to spend the evening with us, thank you. Your support means the world to our team, and to the Bridges United Foundation.

🚨 VIP is almost sold out. 🚨

The Ballard Cut Single Barrel Event is right around the corner, and there are only a few VIP tickets left.

This is your chance to experience an incredible lineup of exclusive single barrels, meet the people behind the pours, and enjoy one of Seattle’s premier whiskey events before the doors open to general admission. It also guarantees you access to the most sought after bottles such as the Elmer T Lee single barrel!

When VIP is gone, it’s gone.

🥃 Don’t miss your shot.

We’re excited to welcome Mike Vacheresse from Travel Bar to the Ballard Cut Single Barrel Event!

He’s bringing the energy, the whiskey, and Brooklyn to Seattle! Travel Bar has built a loyal following by pairing world-class cocktails with an exceptional whiskey selection, all inspired by a love of travel and exploration. It’s the kind of place where every pour has a story, and now they’re bringing that spirit to Seattle.

One night. Incredible single barrels. Great people. Endless pours.

For the first time ever, we will be showing a sporting event at the ballard cut! To be clear, this is a temporary thing and we will only do this when the timing fits well.

Mariners playoff games, Seahawks playoffs etc are what we will do, and only when we are open for normal business hours.

Come join us for the fun!

Every year we do our annual Pappy Van Winkle dinner but it’s morphed into something more than that. We close to the general public and sell tickets (rare for us), open up the most ridiculous bottles we can find from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery and throw an absolute rager of a party. It’s tiring, but one of my favorite nights of the whole year! Cheers and happy holidays everyone.
