I read up on their website, it's been around since the 30's! Someone took over the company and kept it alive, and is now sharing it with the US. The first store in the whole country... oh yeah, PDX! We bought three items, but two are gifts.... Very sad I don't get to try them. One is pistachio. They have more dark chocolate options, with some milk. Oh, just remembered, they have one truffle made with parm!! What?? We tried the milk chocolate hazelnut bar. They did a great job on the packaging, with the color scheme and non-shiny paper, very upscale clean look. First things first though: the space is great with nice large windows, everything organized along the walls. The lady there is authentic Italian, how cool. She was very friendly, and explained everything to us, what they offer, where it comes from. All ingredients for the chocolate are from Italy. I think she said the chocolate is from Ecuador, and the coffee is Ethiopian. They have a map, and you can see all the areas where the items are grown and where it is made. We have to come back and try more items. The milk chocolate bar was very smooth, and subtle flavor. I know they have bonbons and truffles, coated nuts, coffee beans, peels including bergamot, and chocolate pencils. Something else nice, they have a glass case where you can buy single bonbons. You aren't stuck buying a whole box. A great way to test out flavors and find what you like. We almost went back to buy more but had places to go. I'm wondering if they will have large easter eggs, that apparently is what the brand was famous for. We will see. Glad they chose PDX, welcome!

If I could move to Portland, this would be my spot all day every day and then I was gonna have to exercise every day too, so maybe I shouldn't move here..

The shelves are full of whiskey, brandy, gin, lots of other spirits. I'm a rye guy and tasted the rye whiskey, (light spicy) which I thought were extremely good. Tried the gin made from organic juniper berries - smelled like hiking in a juniper forest, which I remember hiking an old growth juniper forest near Bend, Oregon. Very friendly service. Convivial space right into distillery for a meet up with friends. Bottoms up spirit lovers! liquor is quicker for a good time with your friends! New deal is the right deal to throw down some shots.

I pedaled my vintage Klein Rascal over to the Stone Barn Brandyworks tasting room. Surrounded by…read moreaged whiskey, brandy and liqueur barrels, I wanted to taste the organic rye whiskey. I tasted 3 unique "like no other" whiskeys I've ever tried - Dark Roast Rye, Straight Rye and Bottled in Bond Oat whiskey - all aged 5 years. In a glass I nosed the whiskey, inhaling gently with mouth slightly open to capture the aromas. Small sips and let the whiskey linger, soak and sizzle on my tongue's bulbous taste buds. Flavors popped! Dark rye tasted like chocolate, stout and espresso. Master Distiller Sebastian said these barrels were roasted to get this flavor. Straight Rye (100% organic) sipping spirits sizzled so wonderfully from toasting the barrels. The Oat sip had a suttle taste like warm maple syrup. Sebastian explained the barrel prep, like roasting, charring, toasting and more distilling processes on oak produce the unique flavors I tasted. I bought 2 bottles of the dark and straight rye and loaded in my back pack. Can't wait to take some bigger sizzling sips at home. I also like and respect Stone Barn uses mostly NW ingredients and Camas Mills - also what the best bread and pizza makers in Portland use. Stone Barn also has a booth at the PSU Saturday farmers market.

Trevor was very patient with our questions on a phone call before stopping in, and was a great bartender in serving up the flight and providing a lot of good info. A few things to note if you're planning on stopping by: - the space is very small - just a short standing bar and no tables to sit at (big enough for no more than 6 or so) - I don't believe they do any food - no outside food allowed - they do flights and maybe some other drinks, but the main thing if flights a small number of drinks using their spirits - they do a standard flight for $20 and a "rare" flight for $25 - but the standard flight was fine for what I was looking for - they were a little short-staffed on the Saturday I was there and they couldn't do a tour. TBH, I'm more interested in tasting their offerings than in seeing big metal vats so not a huge deal, LOL Their spirits are all well-made. The star of the show for me was the maple whisky. I wasn't expecting over 100 proof. Very palatable and the maple compliments the whisky instead of overpowering it. Definitely make a stop here if you're a whisky fan - it's well worth your time!

I really appreciated the time and energy the sales folks put into explaining the complexities and flavor profiles of this batch, and also throwing one heck of a launch party as well. Now that Bull Run is on my radar, I'll be paying close attention to their line of products and launches in the future.
