Eastside Distilling - Burnside Oregon Oaked Blended Bourbon Whiskey
Burnside Oregon Oaked Blended Bourbon Whiskey offers a distinctive Pacific Northwest twist on a classic American spirit. This unique expression takes a carefully selected blend of straight bourbons and subjects them to an innovative finishing process using Oregon White Oak. Unlike traditional oak, Oregon White Oak imparts unique characteristics, adding layers of savory spice, earthy notes, and a drier, more nuanced wood influence to the bourbon's inherent sweetness and complexity. The result is a bold and adventurous whiskey that truly embodies its regional roots.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Earthy notes, savory spice (e.g., black pepper, clove), hints of dried fruit, caramel, and a distinctive, slightly drier oak presence.
-
Flavor: A blend of classic bourbon sweetness (vanilla, caramel) upfront, quickly giving way to a pronounced, unique spice from the Oregon oak. Expect notes of green wood, dark tea, and a subtle earthiness, balanced by the underlying bourbon character.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium to full-bodied, with a drier, more textural feel than traditional bourbon, and a pleasant warmth.
-
Finish: Long and complex, with lingering notes of savory spice, dry oak, and a subtle sweetness that slowly fades.
