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.

Aquavit: the centuries-old spirit that’s more than just “black death”
What exaclty is aquavit?
Alcohol tasting: Aquavit, Bitter orange snaps, Bask, Arrack punsch

If you’ve ever been to Iceland, there’s a chance a local tour guide has offered you a chance to partake in a less-than-appealing local rite of passage. I’m talking about eating fermented shark followed by a shot of Brennivin. I, like many travelers to Iceland, have taken part in this life-changing experience. I can tell you that the shark is the biggest acquired taste I’ve ever been a part of.

The Brennivin, on the other hand, was actually memorable in a good way. Even though it’s referred to as “black death,” this strong Icelandic spirit is a neutral spirit made from potatoes.

You might be wondering what Aquavit is.
