The new kid on Portland’s Distillery Row block, Wild Roots Vodka has staked its claim with two berry vodkas that “strive to embody the true essence of the Northwest.” The most specifically true-to-Oregon of these is Wild Roots’ Oregon Marionberry Vodka.
With more than a pound of fruit going to the production of every bottle, the intensely rich, almost liqueur-level color of the vodka—a deep royal purple in this case—is no surprise. Yet even with color as an indicator, the wave of marionberry aroma and flavor apparent at first sip is capable of arching even the most ardent flavored vodka skeptics’ eyebrows. Tying in congruent nuances of earth and mouthwatering Concord grape, this vodka is worth sampling neat before sipping it with soda or in any of the cocktails Wild Roots developed to showcase the spirit.
