We have visited this veteran-owned distillery several times and have never been disappointed. From…read morethe gracious hosts to the unique spirits, it's quite the experience. A small speakeasy-style tasting room is the backdrop to traditional and smoky bourbons, moonshine, and cordials. (The rumor is they'll be coming out with a gin in the near future!) My personal favorites are the chocolate cordial and the new blueberry cinnamon cordial. My daughter loves the apple pie brandy, cinnamon whiskey, and honey pear cordial. My husband prefers the Viking Lightning (a honey-infused moonshine) and the Whiskey Road bourbon aged in charred white oak. There's something for everyone here! Bonus: They are dog-friendly!

Perfect combination of ingredients and the fish was fresh. The steak sandwich was delicious. We also had mixed cocktails. Great refreshing drinks with the right amount of alcohol especially for the cost. The service was great considering there was two servers on this busy shift. WWE ate outside and lived the ambiance of the parasails and river. They had beautiful wooden enclosed as well as high top bar seating. Inside plenty of seating and a full bar. We will definitely eat here again on our next visit into town. Check this place out.

The shelves are full of whiskey, brandy, gin, lots of other spirits. I'm a rye guy and tasted the rye whiskey, (light spicy) which I thought were extremely good. Tried the gin made from organic juniper berries - smelled like hiking in a juniper forest, which I remember hiking an old growth juniper forest near Bend, Oregon. Very friendly service. Convivial space right into distillery for a meet up with friends. Bottoms up spirit lovers! liquor is quicker for a good time with your friends! New deal is the right deal to throw down some shots.

A real gem on my burgeoning distillery tour of Portland!…read more Burgeoning because it turns out as much as other think I drink a lot (it's not a faze mom!!!) it turns out that I can only really ripple at one distillery a day. Anyway, I love that this tasting room is an easy walk from my place. Plus it's near all the food and other things I like when I take to the fire water and get to walking! I came during a private event and almost thought I wouldn't be able to taste. However they have a back bar area that has tables set up, so I was able to get my sip on. There are bunches and bunches to sip from the Hue Hue coffee rum (dangerous because you can sip this stuff straight, the coffee flavor is that good) to even an eggnog flavored tipple, you will find something interesting to taste! The tasting experience was informative and fun! It wasn't pretentious, and it truly was laid back. You can decide how much you wanted to interact. So if you just wanna sip and be left to your thoughts you're given the option. I bought a couple bottles and I will definitely be back for more. It's really cool to have a decent priced high quality distillery so close by!

The manager enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge. We tasted our $5 whiskey flight in the lounge area, but you also have your choice of sitting at the pour bar or at small high tables. A bottle of their award winning rye whisky is $79 which seems like a good value. I enjoyed the coffee rum taster and bought a bottle for only $19.95. Their wide selection makes the place look cluttered, somewhat messy. You're somewhat over-stimulated by all the eye candy and making a selection gets confusing. Whatever, if that model works then more power to them. I will definitely return.

"Dam Good Whiskey!" -- A Beaver's Review of Westward Distillery…read more Well chew my bark and call me industrious--Westward Distillery has crafted a whiskey so fine it made my tail thump like a drum on spring thaw! I waddled in skeptical. After all, we beavers know a thing or two about craftsmanship: sharp teeth, strong wood, steady paws. But the moment those folks poured me a sample of their American Single Malt, I realized I was in the presence of fellow artisans--humans who build with barley the way I build with birch. The aroma? Like sniffing a warm cedar log at sunset, with a hint of orchard fruit drifting downstream. The taste? Smooth as a freshly planed maple branch, with a delicious grain character that made me contemplate abandoning dam construction to pursue professional sipping full-time. The finish? Long, warm, and rich--lingering like the satisfaction of placing the final stick on a perfectly engineered lodge roof. And don't get me started on the place itself. The distillery is polished, welcoming, and smells pleasantly of oak instead of predators. The staff? Delightful! Not one of them tried to trap me, and they spoke about their whiskey with the passion of creatures who truly love their craft. Westward, my whiskered friends, you have built something remarkable. If I had opposable thumbs, I'd raise a glass. Instead, I'll slap my tail in tribute: THWAP THWAP THWAP! That's beaver for "EXQUISITE WORK, KEEP IT UP."
