    My daughter tried the whiskey at the farmers market and was a fan. She sent me out to pick up more. Although I don't drink, my wife and daughter proclaim the whiskey and gin to be excellent. We picked up about 12 bottles for us and others to split. We were the first customer in the tasting room after reopening from COVID and Nick was great! Friendly atmosphere and great customer service! What more could you ask for when shopping!

    Sampler makes great gift!

    Flights of cocktails? Yes, please!!! So delicious! Such a nice change of pace if you typically do wine or cider tastings. Not in anyway knocking them, it's just fun to do flights of something unique like vodka and gins from Wild Roots. Their tasting room is lovely; it has a clean modern decor reflective of the clean taste of their spirits. The vodkas and gins are flavored with real fruit - think blackberry, pear, peach, apple cinnamon, dark cherry and so much more. You can do a flight of the the vodka or a flight of mini cocktails that are beautiful, well thought out, and most important, delicious!!! For $15-20 you can sample most offerings. Definitely a good deal. In addition to their tasting room, Wild Roots is a fixture at many area Farmers Markets and craft festivals. Recently I saw them at the Milwaukee Farmers Market and they had a gorgeous display. I always buy the straight vodka and gin, preferring to make my own cocktails without having to commit to a flavored spirit. Just the way I roll. But for those who like flavored alcohol, they offer a pack of assorted mini bottles that are great for your own tasting party or hostess gifts. I'm a big fan of Wild Roots and go out of my way to purchase their products. Luckily the liquor stores support local and stock their products. The bottles and labels are so beautiful that I keep them out on display rather than hide them in my liquor cabinet!

    If you come here look for Jay!!! He is so lovely and knowledgeable. He took the time to help us pick the perfect drinks and gave great recommendations! He is so pleasant to talk with and the drinks were delicious!! The adult lemonade is so yummy!!! Highly recommend!! Jay is the best!

    Wild roots was cool. I have had their offerings and enjoyed them, but had not made the trip to the tasting room. Its a decent looking building. It was around a ton of cool coffee shops. The person in the shop was really nice. My wife grabbed a drink and I grabbed a flight, I believe mostly whiskey. The whiskey was pretty tasty, but in the end the one I wanted was a little more than I had to spend at the time on this trip. I was curious about a few of the vodkas, but I am not a huge vodka fan so it would sit for a while. I did like the stuff I tasted, but my whiskey shelf is already out of control, so maybe next time I will grab one.

    $15 bucks, 5 spirit samples and cocktail of choice.

    First time ever doing a distillery tasting and so glad I did it with Wild Roots! I went with the flight and mini cocktail combo. It was only $15! What a deal. I don't really recall everything I tasted but the apple cinnamon vodka was delicious! They had suggested their apple chai cocktail and WOW, it was AMAZING. If I didn't have dinner reservations, I probably would have had more and would have walked out of the place a hot mess!

    Unique spirits, artistic decor, and great service. My fiance and I were in town visiting and we saw a Groupon for a tasting, mini cocktail and reusable metal straws so we thought we would try it and we had a great time. I tried a few different vodkas and my fiance had the gins and bourbon. I had the adult lemonade and he had the mule, both were delicious, but we both agreed mine really hit the spot! We both really enjoyed the fresh, unique flavors and the fact that they use real fruit for flavor and no added sugar or artificial colors. Rating from an F to an A+++ I give it an A+++.

    This tasting room is beautiful! We enjoyed flights where we got to choose which spirits to sample, as well as a cocktail menu. It was fun to be able to enjoy ourselves and try what we wanted before buying. They also have a wall with merchandise-clothing, barware, and even some candles! They also carry CBD products, and they even have slushies! Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable-she answered all of our questions and gave us a detailed background on everything we tried. They are enforcing masking, sanitizing and distancing in a time of COVID-19. They have QR codes so you can scan the menu at your table. We would come back in a heartbeat! This place is great for both locals and newcomers for tasting and relaxing.

    Hidden gem in Portland but we located it!!! It was packed when we walked in. Just an fyi the is not allot of seating. 5 stools at the bar and a small loveseat fire seating. Who needs seats when you're just there for a tasting right :) I have to say the peach was divine and would be awesome in some unsweet tea. The two ladies were super knowledgeable on info provide for the tastings we did. 5 vodka tastings are $10 but totally worth the try.

    Came here recently with my partner. We already purchase their products occasionally so I thought it would be nice to go to their tasting room. Seems like a different location from years ago. The place is really nice, but it's a little weird you can't sit on the couch and enjoy your drink. Something to do with OLCC according to them. Anyway, the place looks great and service is pleasant. It was nice to sample new products as well as some I wouldn't just take a chance on by buying a bottle. Definitely think they've upgraded their cocktail game. I prefer this tasting room mostly because I prefer their products. That's because I prefer flavored alcohol. It's hard for me to taste straight vodka, but a lot easier to taste pear vodka for example. Mostly I'm giving it a higher rating because I like the cocktails and interior more than before.

    They had me at "our Vodka has been filtered 100 times naturally through local lava stones", but the drink cocktails they have are worth raving about also! Not to mention the price for less then $20 you can sample most of the selections. The ambience is amazing! Cool place to hangout and relax, catch up and have a conversation. I prefer sitting at the counter but they have an amazing lounge area with a comfy couch. They are on the corner just before heading downtown so an excellent meet up site before heading over the river.

    I loved this place! The space immediately was open, bright and inviting. Our hostess was super sweet and gave us a lot of suggestions to help us pick our flight items. I liked the attention to detail when making them and they were all so beautifully put together. They all tasted just as amazing as they look! When she dropped the flight off she was even kind enough to offer to take a group photo for us. I highly recommend stopping by to check it out!

    I really enjoyed the rich fruit flavors that taste fresh, you can definitely tell the spirits are made with real fruit. I like the bright, hipster ambiance. This is a good place for a small group gathering. My favorite was the cinnamon apple vodka, it tastes just like apple pie!

    Pride Flight

    My spirit guide was phenomenal today! We had some great conversation and she made great recommendations. I got the pride flight and it was delicious. Didn't catch her name sorry! But everything tasted great and took some CBD drinks home as well. Thank you for everything :)

    "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."

Auntie got a vodka martini which she adored, partially for the 3 olives and not getting any flack about wanting a vodka martini. Christine our bartender was brilliant. She suggested some of the house made Vanilla Crème and Cinnamon Rum. I've not tasted any liquors so amazing in ages. It made me want to completely forget about any canned cocktails and take bottled spirits home. We also tried the house made Fresh Hop Whiskey. I'm dead. Literally it was so good. I'm not even a hoppy kind of girl but this stuff was gold. If you're going to indulge in spirits this is the place to, and stock up for home cocktails. So delicious and service is stellar.

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!

Whatever, if that model works then more power to them. I will definitely return.
