The History

In 1948, Vanport was the second largest city in Oregon, and the largest housing development in the country when it was totally destroyed by a flood on May 30th, 1948.

The Evolution

The population which emerged from that flood-ravaged City grew to become the foundation of diversity for the State of Oregon, and this line of Spirits embodies those who rose to become the heart of the City of Roses.

The Spirits

All spirits within this line will be distilled in the City of Portland, produced with the goal of creating a high-quality beverage whose delivery is smooth, and consistent.

The Evolution of The Spirit of Rising.

In this short history, from 1942 to 1948, Vanport was the Nation’s largest wartime housing development, a site for social innovation,  a lighting rod for racial integration which evolved into the City of Portland, Oregon — and this is the heart of our brand. 

The Spirit

100% made in Oregon from a network of local distillers who take pride in their craft and want to see the Vanport line of spirits become the best of each category they enter.

The Mission

To create a line of  Spirits like no other, one which rises above the rest.

 

The Taste

Smooth, warms the spirit without burning a path across the pallet.

The Delivery

Bottled in Portland, Oregon, distributed by the first eco-friendly distributor in the U.S.

 

The Environment

We put the environment first, purchasing  300,000 lbs of carbon offsets in projects ranging from the Oregon Forest to Guatemala.

The Spirit Of Rising.

The people which rose from the flood ravaged City of Vanport grew to become the heart of the city of Portland, and gave birth to the generation which started this brand.

Rising from the ashes of that destroyed city is a legacy like no other, a passionate people who seek a spirit of joy and celebration of life, happiness, and love of the City of Roses. 

How We Choose Spirits

Quality is everything. The spirit must have a strong body of work and a taste that delivers smoothly across the pallet.  The complexity of a spirit should result in something simple — simply the best tasting product.
