Distiller's Background:

Pendleton Whisky is distilled in Canada using the finest grains and pure water, then transported to Oregon for its final proofing with glacier-fed water from Mt. Hood. Every bottle bears the iconic bucking horse emblem and “Let’er Buck” slogan, connecting it to the historic Pendleton Round-Up rodeo. As the Official Spirit of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) Velocity Tour, Pendleton represents more than whisky; it embodies a heritage of Western grit and celebration.

Serving Suggestions:

Versatile and smooth, Pendleton Whisky shines neat, on the rocks, or as the base for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour. Its approachable character pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, think barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, or roasted game, and is equally at home in celebratory toasts.

Pendleton ‘Original’ captures the soul of the rodeo and the craftsmanship of Canadian whisky, offering every pour as a tribute to freedom, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the West.
