Great Tasting Room for a mixed group.
Westward Whiskey的点评
点评：I Enjoyed a beautiful leisurely tasting room with lots of very smooth single malt Whiskeys in the warehouse district in Portland.
My wife (the non whiskey drinker) enjoyed a flight of cocktails which was quite good. This flight is unique for a distillery and made the visit equally enjoyable for both of us. So this is a great tasting location for a group where everyone doesn’t like their whiskey straight up. The cocktails were excellent.
The not so good: with only 4 or 5 people in the tasting room, I was surprised at how unhelpful the first server was. ( we did make a reservation before arriving). We each ordered a flight and were given cards to describe what we were drinking. At $35 per flight, this was shockingly poor service. After about 40 minutes a second server who has much better knowledge of whiskey arrived, and was able to show us some whiskeys that made more sense for someone who enjoys their spirits neat. He turned things around.
Generally, what their whiskeys had in smoothness, they lacked in flavor and complexity. My wife tried a few sips and enjoyed several of them….so the flight I purchased was a great tasting for beginners, which I am not.
At around $100 for most of the bottles we tasted, I thought that generally bottles were overpriced compared to their single malt competitors in Scotland. (Several of them were quite similar to a Glenmorangie 12 year which goes for $60 or so).
I ended up tasting 8 or 9 whiskeys. (Standard flight was 5 tastes. They gave me a few extra pours when they figured out what I enjoyed) I purchased a bottle for a friend as a gift. His favorite whiskey retails for about $90. The Westward that was similar cost $99. I purchased a second that had more complexity than the rest mostly because it was a distillery exclusive and it had some complexity behind it. I will give it to a friend who collects those. Cost was about $114. These really did make great gifts and I am happy to support a relatively new American single malt distiller.
Let me finish on sone positive notes. I did end up joining their whiskey club. I’ll probably give most of the bottles away as gifts, as I can’t imagine anyone objecting to the smooth charactistics. Other than my thought of the pricing being non-competitive, all were enjoyable. Specifically, I thought their PX Sherry was excellent - I always lean to Speyside in my Scotch.
In addition, by joining the club and buying a few bottles along with some other gifts, Westward waived our tasting fees. That is the way it should be done. You get a sense that the Westward team knows what they are doing

翻译：我在波特兰的仓库区体验了一次惬意的品酒之旅，那里有许多口感极为柔顺的单麦芽威士忌。
我的妻子虽然不喝威士忌，却很喜欢那里提供的鸡尾酒品鉴套餐，味道相当不错。对于一家酿酒厂来说，提供这样的鸡尾酒体验实属难得，这也让我们两人都享受到了愉快的参观时光。因此，对于那些并非每个人都喜欢纯饮威士忌的团体来说，这里绝对是个理想的品酒之地。那些鸡尾酒真的非常出色。不太理想的一点：品酒室里只有四五个人，让我惊讶的是第一位服务员的帮助极少。（我们事先已经预约了。）我们每人点了一组品酒套餐，还拿到了用来介绍所品酒款的卡片。以每套35美元的价格来计算，这种服务水平实在糟糕得令人震惊。大约40分钟后，第二位对威士忌了解得更多的服务员出现了，他为我们推荐了几款更适合喜欢纯饮的人的威士忌。他成功扭转了局面。
总体来说，这些威士忌虽然口感顺滑，却缺乏风味与层次感。我妻子尝了几口，倒也挺喜欢其中的几款……因此我买的这套品鉴套装很适合初学者，不过我可不算初学者啦。
我们品尝的大多数酒瓶售价都在100美元左右，我觉得与苏格兰的单一麦芽威士忌相比，这些酒的价格算是偏高了。（其中有几款与售价约60美元的格兰莫兰吉12年威士忌非常相似。）我最终品尝了8到9种威士忌。（通常一次试饮只能尝5种；当他们了解到我喜欢的口味后，又多给了我几杯。）我买了一瓶作为礼物送给朋友。他最喜欢的那种威士忌售价约为90美元，而风味相似的Westward威士忌售价则为99美元。我又买了一瓶，它的风味层次比其他几款都要丰富——主要是因为它是该酒厂的限量版，且具有独特的风味特征。我会把这一瓶送给另一位专门收藏威士忌的朋友。这一瓶的售价约为114美元。这些确实是很不错的礼物，我很乐意支持这家创办时间不长的美国单一麦芽威士忌酒厂。
最后，让我说些正面的评价吧。我最终加入了他们的威士忌俱乐部。我可能会把大部分酒瓶作为礼物送人，因为我觉得没人会不喜欢那种顺滑的口感。除了觉得定价缺乏竞争力这点外，所有酒款都令人满意。尤其值得一提的是他们的PX雪利桶陈酿款——简直出色至极；我平时喝苏格兰威士忌时也总是偏爱斯佩塞地区的酒款。
此外，通过加入俱乐部并购买几瓶酒以及一些其他礼品，Westward免除了我们的品酒费用。这才是正确的做法。从中能感觉到，Westward的团队非常清楚自己在做什么。
