Trail Distilling, Oregon City

I don't always take the same route when passing through Oregon City, but Trail Distilling is likely to increase the chances of taking Rt 213 the next time... Starting with a view of the late afternoon light hitting Mt Hood in the view from the parking lot, and moving on to a relaxing tasting room, this was a delightful spot to visit. Everything we tried was smooth and highly drinkable - my wife doesn't normally lean towards whisky as a drink of choice, but found their First City Whisky to be a revelation. I'm not usually a fan of gin, but the Trillium Gin (one of 3 varieties made here) was worth picking up a bottle to take home with us. They've done a lovely job taking a light industrial building and giving it rustic touches to make it a fun place to visit, and to acquaint yourself with their spirits.

Met Jerry years ago and I am glad to know him also makes some of the best whisky I have ever tasted thanks Jerry
