My wife doesn't always have a beer, so I stumbled into Whiskey Lab on a sunny (albeit warm) June afternoon. The servers will make you pretty much anything you want, but there is also a rotating/seasonal menu with their featured drinks. Whiskey Lab has clearly put a lot thought and creativity into their featured cocktails, so if you're open to something new, then that's where I would point you. I opted for the 'You Can Call Me Rose', a spectacular melange of vodka & cognac (I know, right?) splashed about with a mango base and adorned with dried rose petal pieces. Oh, but what would an artisanal cocktail be with a spritz of rose water? Yeah, that too. Result: ZAM! a cocktail even my wife thought was spanking, and she is a hot 'no' on anything mango. I didn't tell her, of course... Great seating options if the weather if agreeable, either in the small courtyard area or in the apses, or even in the bar if it ain't too stuffy (Oregon summer, y'know). Prices are anywhere from $12 and up, but specials and other options make for fabulous value, well above menu pricing. Cheers!

The place was packed, but thankfully we were seated quite quickly with a 5-10 minute wait. The interior is cozy and welcoming. It's dimly lit with mood lighting on the tables. It felt lively since the tables were packed. We started by ordering the sake and shoyu flights and some fries with wasabi mayo while we explored the rest of their menu. We received the flights quickly. Both flights had 3 flavors and were tasty and fun to try. Each flight comes with a menu describing the flavor profile and how the drinks were made. The flavors of each flight were distinct and matched their descriptions. The fries with wasabi mayo were pretty basic fries. They were well seasoned, had a nice crunch, and the mayo had a subtle wasabi flavor without it being spicy. For our next round we ordered the salmon misoyaki, butternut squash, tofu kushiyaki, and steak kushiyaki. Unfortunately, our server forgot to bring our butternut squash, but we ended up being full with the rest of the food we ordered and just took it off our order. The salmon misoyaki was delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, and well seasoned. The mustard greens on the side added a nice sourness. The tofu kushiyaki was tender and flavorful. The steak kushiyaki was well-seasoned, but more well done than I preferred and a little tough. Next, we ordered the spinach goma ae and umeboshi unigiri. The spinach goma ae was such a pleasant surprise! It's a chilled spinach dish with a tamari/black sesame sauce that was refreshing mid-meal. Really good umami flavor! The umeboshi onigiri had the expected sharp salty/sour flavor that balanced well with the ratio of rice. Ended up dipping the umeboshi onigiri in the goma ae sauce to get every last drop. For dessert we ordered the basque cheesecake and créme brûlée. The cheesecake was just okay. The menu said there was sake and black sesame flavors, but apart from some black sesame dust on the plate we couldn't taste the sake/sesame. The texture was thick and not super smooth. It was a pretty heavy dessert and not very sweet. The créme brûlée was yummy. The custard was smooth and the crunchy caramelized sugar on top was a nice contrast in texture and flavor. The service itself was slow. We were waiting around 15 minutes between orders. Given, it was a busy night. However, we felt a bit forgotten as our server did forget to bring one of our dishes, we had to ask for our dessert menus twice, and we were accidentally served two basque cheesecakes instead of our order of cheesecake and créme brûlée. The staff were friendly, and quickly brought out the correct desserts at the end. I'd recommend ordering more dishes at once so you can enjoy more food in between orders. Would definitely come back again to try the rest of their menu. We wanted to try the Japanese sweet potato but they had sold out that night. The oysters, sashimi, and udon also looked quite good!

Elk Rider bourbon is a good bourbon so I scooped up a bottle of that for the road. 1st Special Forces was slightly better than Elk Rider but the cost was more than it was worth. The dual barrel orange bourbon was not bad at all. A subtle orange that would go great in an old fashioned. But I could also pour any drinkable bourbon to make an old fashioned so I don't need this. The dual barrel vanilla bourbon was horrible. Nice vanilla but a "funk" finish. Hard pass. And we finish with the Cocoa Bomb. I thought this one was going to suck horribly. But guess what? I loved it. Enough to snag a bottle of that too!! My wife liked the Affogato martini enough to land a bottle of the ghost pepper vodka. I enjoyed the distillery, the service (great job Arwa) and the location. We even got a really good recommendation for sushi within walking distance.

The Key Lime Rum Cocktail was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, with a tropical twist that was smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet.
