Description
Eastside Distilling has been producing high-quality, master-crafted Small-Batch Bourbon, American Whiskey, Flavored Whiskeys, A Potato – Gluten-Free Vodka, American Rum, Spiced Rums, and Holiday Drinks in Southeast Portland’s Distillery Row since 2008. We believe that locally-produced spirits simply taste better, so all of our unique products are made right here in Portland, Oregon from natural ingredients in small batches for unparalleled quality and taste. Eastside Distilling introduced Below Deck Rums, the first in a series fine and flavored rums in 2009, and has since launched several more award-winning spirits, including Burnside Bourbon and Portland Potato Vodka, and our new Cherry Bomb Whiskey. Eastside also produces small batch and seasonal products like our Holiday Spiced Liqueur and new Peppermint Bark and Egg Nog Liqueurs.
Cherry Bomb Whiskey
Eastside Distilling Tasting Note
Cherry Bomb Whiskey from Eastide Distilling is handmade with a blast of real Oregon cherries and aged whiskey. All of the rich flavor and deep red color comes from real fruit – no artificial coloring or flavor extracts are used! The tiny bits of cherry pulp in the bottle are a testament to the natural source of flavor.
cocktails Tasting Note
The bottle contains a rich, maroon, murky liquid – part of Eastside’s vow that real Oregon cherries are actually in there. When you open the bottle, you smell whiskey, and this surprised me as I imagined something more candy-like, I suppose. Here’s the important thing though: this isn’t cherry liqueur, it’s cherry whiskey, and it’s not sweetened by anything other than the cherries themselves.
Awarded Gold Medals from the prestigious MicroLiquor Spirits Awards and the American Wine Society, Cherry Bomb Whiskey tastes great straight on the rocks, and mixes extremely well with vodka and soda. If you love Manhattans, you’ll love our new Cherry Bomb!
