Tasting Notes: The nose is a sweet mix of both brown and white sugar syrups, continuing with a soft floral bouquet, sweet melon and orchard fruit juice, and delicate kiss of charred oak.

The palate saturates like sno cone syrup, with a gorgeous, silky mouthfeel. While it tingles on the gums, the more you sip the less you notice its 137 proof. Sweet vanilla, toasted coconut, and lovely accompanying.

The finish is long and trailing, continuing to stay vanilla forward with nuanced layers of dark fruits and warming oak – with brighter red fruits standing out well into the long finish.

The Story: Distilled entirely from Hawaiian turbinado sugar, Pacific Rum reflects Bull Run Distilling Company’s commitment to bold flavor and regional character. This unique spirit begins with the rich, unrefined sweetness of turbinado sugar sourced from the islands, then travels north to Portland, Oregon, and bottled at cask strength.

Aged for 10-years in ex-bourbon barrels, Pacific Rum gains a subtle depth and a hint of vanilla oak from its brief rest, bridging the gap between bright island rum and rich American whiskey. For this special Seelbachs release, the rum was finished in a sherry cask, adding an elegant layer of dark fruit, toasted almond, and warm spice.

Crafted with a distinctly Oregonian sensibility and a nod to tropical tradition, this expression is a limited-edition blend of climates, cultures, and cask influenceshowcasing the creative spirit of American craft distilling.
