Pendleton Whisky gets its name from the town of Pendleton, Oregon, the home of one of the largest and most historic rodeos in North America. It’s well-known for its award-winning line of whiskies. Until now, the brand hadn’t branched out into bourbon. That all changed with the release of Pendleton 1910 Bourbon.

The newest expression in the Pendleton family joins its popular Canadian Whisky and Pendleton 1910 Rye Whisky. Pendleton 1910 Bourbon (the date comes from the year the rodo began) is a 90-proof straight bourbon that was matured for at least ten years in #3 char white American oak barrels. The whiskey is a blend of high and low-rye bourbon’s that were proofed down with glacier spring water from Mt. Hood. It’s known for its complex, memorable flavor profile of toasted vanilla beans, toffee, and peppery rye.

Whiskey Row

Named for the historic section of Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, Whiskey Row Bourbon is the newest line from Avalon Spirits. It was created to pay tribute to pre-prohibition aging and blending techniques. The brand is set to start it all off by launching three unique expressions.
The Whiskey Row Bourbon lineup

The three Whiskey Row Bourbon releases are Triple Wood, Bottled in Bond, and Cask Strength. The Triple Wood expression gets its name because it's matured for at least four years in a charred oak before being finished in cognac and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The Bottled in Bond expression follows a "rigorous six-marker process to ensure quality" and is aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision before being bottled at a potent 100-proof. The Cask Strength is precisely as the name would make it appear. It isn't proofed down after maturing and bottled at barrel strength.

Rum in a glass

It might seem self-explanatory, but the way you drink your spirits is actually important. That is, if you actually want to get the most out of them. In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve had my fair share of shots of whiskey, vodka, tequila, and even Brennivín (after choking down fermented shark in Iceland). And while there’s no disputing the fact that a shot helps you ingest alcohol at a remarkably fast rate of speed, there’s not much taste involved. That’s why, to truly enjoy hard liquor, you have to take your time with it.

And while I could write an article detailing the aspects of sampling bourbon, single malt Scotch whisky, mezcal, and any number of spirits, today it’s rum’s turn. I’m going to get to the bottom of how to drink rum and taste it. Keep reading to learn the tips and tricks you’ll need to get the most out of your favorite rum in terms of aroma and flavor.
