Eastside Distilling, Inc. (NASDAQ: EAST) (“Eastside” or the “Company”), a producer of award-winning craft spirits, today announced initial deliveries of its new Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye. This award-winning new rye whiskey joins Burnside West End Blend American whiskey, Burnside Oregon Oaked Bourbon, and Burnside Goose Hollow RSV Bourbon as the fourth member of the Burnside family to be distributed in Oregon and other West Coast states.
The Oregon Oaked Rye is a small batch blended rye whiskey finished with Oregon Oak, or Quercus Garryana, barrels. Though it has only recently been removed from barrels and bottled, the Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye whiskey has already won the highly respected Double Gold Medal at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, beating scores of other rye whiskeys such as Bulleit Rye and Jim Beam Rye. This places Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye whiskey on par with much more costly spirits such as Blanton’s Bourbon. Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye is the creation of Eastside’s Master Distiller, Mel Heim.
Mel Heim commented, “We are thrilled and proud to begin shipping the world’s first rye whiskey finished in Quercus Garryana casks, aka Oregon Oak, right on the heels of winning a first-class Double Gold medal from the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Our new rye is a wonderful spirit that we think is unique to the rye category. The flavor experience is spiced, sweet, balanced and full-bodied. We have been working for years on developing and perfecting our rye and so it has become over time a highly anticipated addition to our line of Burnside Oregon Oak whiskey expressions.”
The launch of the Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye follows the launch of Burnside Oregon Oaked Bourbon, Burnside Goose Hollow RSV Bourbon, and the Burnside West End Blend American whiskey. The new Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye continues with the vibrant new look of the Burnside family of individually screen-printed bottles, designed in Portland by spirits branding firm Sandstrom Partners, and produced locally. Burnside’s design, with its bold typography and unexpected color relationships, draws its inspiration from music posters and garage-band flyers littering any number of telephone poles along the busy street. You will soon be able to find the new Burnside Oregon Oaked Rye at numerous locations throughout Oregon, or you can visit Eastside Distilling’s Tasting Rooms now to try it.
