The Best Portland-Area Distilleries to Visit for Tastings and Tours | Eater Portland

"Co-founders Erika and Sebastian Degens source local ingredients for their extensive line of handcrafted brandies, liqueurs, and whiskeys. Visit the distillery just south of Powell Boulevard to sample everything from a sour straight rye whiskey, a chocolaty dark roast rye the Degens aptly describe as “hoodie weather rye,” an assortment of fruit brandies and liqueurs, and the flagship green walnut liqueur, with its bitter green walnut flavor tempered with sour rye and soft-edged pinot noir brandy. The casual tasting room is an organic extension of the cozy distillery — sip on the patio on dry-weather days." - Nathan Williams
