As an Oregon resident, I wanted to start a collection of Oregon based bourbons and whiskeys. This Portland spirit was seventh in "trying them all."I will talk about those at another time. Burnside is a major avenue that runs through Portland. Years ago, (and may still be) the street was the area where the down and outer's slept on the sidewalks,doorways and alleys. When I was young...it was called "skid row" There is also a major bridge crossing the Willamette River by the same name. I don't know if this spirit is a tribute to the folks who lived on the street of just the bridge. The bottle's label is a teal color with a reddish 1920s font, (decent for saving) with a nice wood stopper. The taste,( I'm a novice... so don't put too much into this), was better then some young bourbons I've tasted. The first sip seemed wheated and a slightly oak prominence. The best I can offer at this time is: This spirit would be a fair addition to anyone collecting bourbon from other states. The price was, a few dollars over what I would pay for a daily sipper (I usually drink alone), but...to share with others...This bottle would be a good conversation bottle. I hope this helps.
