Below Deck Coffee Rum
Eastside Distilling Tasting Note
The strong flavor of coffee, but left out the sweet! Locally-roasted Arabica beans give Below Deck Coffee Rum a deep smooth richness. In fact, there’s so much rich coffee flavor that it could only be made in Portland! At the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Below Deck Coffee Rum was awarded the Silver Medal in the Flavored Rum category by a judging panel of expert spirits tasters. Taste it and judge for yourself, Try Below Deck Coffee Rum today and taste the rich, smooth coffee flavor that the experts agreed was worthy of a medal! We have many innovative recipes, still, we encourage you to try creating some of your own drinks. If you make anything of which you are particularly proud, let us know. For refreshing, summer time drinks, a citrus base works very well. If you are looking to warm up, a toddy or hot cider is another great choice.
Proof66 Tasting Note
Eastside Distilling (formerly Deco Distilling) was founded in 2009 by Lenny Gotter and Bill Adams–long-time friends who shared “a passion for distilled spirits.” They strive to produce spirits made from ingredients found in the localities of Portland, Oregon where the distillery makes its home. Below Deck Coffee rum (formerly known as Deco Distiling) is a flavored rum craft-distilled in Portland, Oregon.
It is flavored with all-natural ingredients and no added sugar with the intention of preventing overly sweet drinks. The rum is made with Arabica coffee beans and acknowledge that it may have some “naturally occurring caffeine.” They say it provides a “full-bodied, Portland-roasted” flavor with a “deep, smooth richness.” Take that Seattle!
Got Rum Tasting Note
This coffee-flavored rum is produced by Eastside Distilling in Portland, Oregon, using double distilled rum and authentic Portland roasted coffee. The color is rich and dark, suggestive of bold aromas and succulent flavors. In the nose, the rum is unmistakably blended using freshly-roasted coffee beans, the acidity of the beans coming through along with the top notes from their careful roasting. In the palate, the rum showcases the essence of coffee without masking it with too much sugar, which could have made it smoother, but at the expense of burying the delicate spirit of the coffee. Enjoy this rum as you would a fine cup of Joe, in a quiet place, free of distractions, where you can enjoy every nuance of the beans and the underlying rum base.
