I haven't visited the distillery/retail space, so can't speak to its interior or characteristics,…read morehowever I happened upon their booth at the Portland King Farmer's Market, and what a surprising gem I discovered! Visiting from Utah (we have kooky liquor laws here), it was a complete novelty to find someone selling alcohol at a farmer's market. We did the thing where we were standing some distance away, discussing if we should check it out, maybe it would be better to hit it as we left...and the gentleman manning the booth motioned us over, saying he had a hot toddy for us to taste. He was so charmingly friendly, we could hardly refuse, and I'm always open to trying a bit of anything. Friends, that hot toddy was perfection. I don't really drink, but I could totally imagine myself reclining by a fire, sipping a bit on an autumn or winter's night. My husband, who decidedly IS a drinker, loved it as well. Perfectly flavored, it tasted strongly of real apples, with a light sweetness that (dangerously?) hid the alcohol. It included both their apple brandy and apple liquor, and you can pick up a recipe at the booth (or just take a picture as I did, and have included below). I also tried a nip of the strawberry rhubarb apertif, which was very sweet (though not too much!), and brought to mind a superior version of port. I was into it. They also sell peppermint, ginger, and pomegranate liquors, along with a ryegrass whiskey. I believe all were available in either 375 or 750ml bottles, for around $20 and $30, respectively. The packaging is beautiful and high quality, and you can purchase their products at a few brick and mortar retailers, as well as online at liquorama.net, however you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not experiencing the hospitality of the company directly, either by visiting the farmers market, or even better (I imagine), their tasting room. Not wishing to be burdened by heavy bottles of liquor for our trip, I limited us to just one, and we opted for the apple brandy. I can't wait to use it for baking, and I know we'll be serving lucky guests hot toddies as the weather cools.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain each flavor during the tasting, as well as the natural ingredients and processes used in production. The tasting room is located in the same charming spot as the barber shop, which adds to its unique character. I was also impressed by the one-of-a-kind table handcrafted by the owner. Before leaving, I just had to purchase another bottle of the Devil's Own Walnut & Fig Rum. Highly recommended!

All very light and perfect for the summertime when I visited.

Felt kinda rushed to order, but obviously we were standing by the door looking at the menu. Had never been before, just got a cider and a marionberry lemon drop. My boyfriend likes ciders and they're nothing special, $7 for that and $10 for the marionberry lemon drop. I wasn't the biggest fan of the drink, kinda sour and sweet at the same time, ehh. They usually have food trucks outside to try, might be fun to bring a group to have drinks and try new foods.

I was invited to sample some spirits by Scott. He's smooth. After lunch I left with a smile and 4 bottles. Give this place a try. It's a worthy experience.

This location of Heritage is about a block away from where my sister used to live (with Hop Valley kiddy-corner and Thinking Tree a block or two in the other direction!). When I was home about a year or so after HDC opened their spot in Whiteaker (their first in Eugene), my friend and I felt compelled to visit, and we didn't even need to worry about finding a cab! Of course the brown sugar bourbon was the number one thing we wanted to try here. It's what put HDC on the map, right? We each ordered a flight. Mine was the aforementioned BSB, a huckleberry vodka, and the BSB 103--a higher proof version. Even if I got more bang for my buck with the last one, I didn't like it as much; for me, the flavor didn't surface as much in the 103 for what I could tell. I liked the others a lot; the huckleberry vodka was good, and I bought a bottle of the original recipe Brown Sugar Bourbon to take back with me. When we were here it was pretty quiet--only one other table filled up whilst we were here. (And this was pre-pandemic, 2017.) The bartender was helpful and willing to answer the questions we had about both the flight options and the cocktail I added on. The space is nice and clean, an upscale tasting room in the heart of Eugene. Eugene is growing up a bit, and I love that my hometown has some cool places to be. Will visit again when I'm home.

Calisaya has a lot go'en on. The lovely translucent copper color is derived mostly from cinchona bark - a product from Peru, which also has a very interesting history with Italy/Rome dating back to the 1600's. He uses over a dozen aromatic botanicals & flowers to create this beguiling lovely elixir. It has a whiff of bitter orange, leather, spice. A wonderful mouth feel that goes down very smooth. Sort of a clean tasting incense - not smoky or too dense. The other is Iris. A soft straw color, not completely different, more like a family member, perhaps slightly less complexity, maybe a teeny tiny wee bit sweeter, but definitely more floral notes.
