The Ultimate Buckman Bar Crawl to Dip Into Portland’s Drinking Culture | Eater Portland

"Inside Scotch Lodge I find some of the city’s best food alongside award-winning cocktails: killer fried brie sticks encased in a crunchy shell of pumpernickel crumbs and drizzled with verjus like honey, pastas such as pappardelle tossed with a rich seaweed butter and candied duck speckling its curves, and salads like chile-crisp-covered tomato or cucumbers tossed with yuzu kosho; the bartenders have developed an exceptional drink list and owner Tommy Klus has built what is likely the city’s largest and best selection of Scotch, so ask for a recommendation or try the Lotus Espirit — a luscious sour variant with lotus seed orgeat that smells of Japanese candy and carries a savory, earthy genmaicha undertone — and plan to get a reservation unless you arrive right at opening." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
