PORTLAND, Ore., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastside
Distilling, Inc. (NASDAQ: EAST) is expanding its premium
spirits line with the new "Eastside Brand" and the new Eastside portfolio of spirits products. The
Eastside special products will
build on the Company's inspiration to offer the most unique,
highest quality, hand-crafted, small-batch products to our loyal
consumers. All products will be limited-edition and will be
available in limited markets. Product will ship in late March and

"The Eastside Distilling brand embodies all the personality and
flavor of what it means to be from Portland, Oregon: creative, independent and
free-spirited," said Janet Oak,
Chief Branding Officer. "Our full lineup of Eastside premium artisanal products are craft
inspired, experiential, very rare and extremely hard to get."
The Eastside Brand has been developed in conjunction with Neil
Powell Design Studios and the portfolio will focus on barrel aged
whiskey sourced from the cellars of Eastside Distilling. Three very
distinct products will be available in Lion's Small Batch Oak
Finished Rye Whiskey, 12 year Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and
a very special Single Malt American Whiskey aged in oak and
finished in 70-year-old sherry casks. All of the whiskey products,
Rye, Bourbon and Single Malt, offer the most unique flavor
experience for the discerning spirits aficionado.
"The Eastside special process
of batch-produced limited-edition products incorporates our unique
ability to layer, and build flavors, with our very rare oak and
rare sherry cask barrels," said Jason
Ericson, Eastside Head Distiller. In addition to the
line of special hand-crafted whiskey, Jason has reached deep into
our barrel cellars to create other limited-edition, small-batch
products as well:
11 Year Barrel Aged Rum: Enjoyed neat or added to cocktails for
a decadent depth of flavor, this rare rum reminds the drinker of
warm summer breezes, AND white sand beaches. ABV 45%

navy strength, this singular gin forms the perfect foundation for
our customer's next Martini or Negroni and provides a unique
opportunity for mixologists to experiment with a rare category of

this corn whiskey is found in the speed rail of the neighborhood
bar in the bottom floor of an apartment building where the

exceptional craft inspired, small-batch artisanal products that are
truly rare and very hard to get," said Janet Oak. "This launch further defines
