US spirits company Eastside Distilling has launched a new line of bourbon whiskey in the US which is blended and aged in garryana oak casks.
Called Burnside Goose Hollow Reserve, the beverage is said to be ‘earthy, woody and dense’ and localised with the use of Oregon oak.
Goose Hollow is named after the Portland, Oregon, neighbourhood that was established with this moniker in 1879, around the same time the term bourbon became consistently used in the US.
The bourbon is showcased in the vibrant new look of the Burnside Bourbon family of individually screen-printed bottles.
Eastside Distilling master distiller Mel Heim said: “On the nose you should smell a robust oak, pine mixed with smoky coals. Once aerated, notes of fruitcake, apricot and caramel begin to be released.
“You will taste the unflinchingly 92 proof which undergoes a metamorphosis on the palate from peppery wood and bitter chocolate to tobacco, plums and vanilla. We think if Goose Hollow had an official flavour that this would be it.”
Eastside Distilling produces a range of beverages, including rum, vodka and whiskey. The company began production in 2008.
