Portland, Oregon, is a hotbed of startup distilleries. Eastside Distilling, launched in 2008, was an early pioneer, making a wide variety of spirits, including traditional and flavored whiskies and rums, as well as seasonal liqueurs, e.g. Eggnog and Peppermint Bark. The spirit basis of their flavored rums (ginger, coffee, spiced) is their unaged Silver Rum, pot distilled to 130 proof before bottling at 80 proof. The minimalist packaging gives no hint that this isn't yet another taste-free, column-distilled white rum.

A shocking amount of flavor for a rum of this price. Fruity Pebbles and green banana on the nose. The palate kicks off with an interesting funkiness, followed by lingering honeydew. ln a world where most people take cheap rums and drown them in fruit juices and sugar, this guy is just fine on its own or with a splash of soda and a wedge of lime.
Pungent nose of tropical fruit, silky mouth feel with a semi-sweet ethanol finish. Great mixer.
It happens to be rather inexpensive.
