Pendleton 1910 10-Year Bourbon

Pendleton Whisky 10-year bourbon is a departure from the traditional blended Canadian whisky the brand is known for. The label is owned by Hood River Distillers in the state of Oregon, USA. Marketing materials for the release provide some context for the Bourbon.”Pendleton® 1910 Bourbon honors the inaugural year of the legendary Pendleton Round-Up, a century-old rodeo that celebrates the rugged spirit of the American West. This Premium 90 Proof Straight American Bourbon is crafted to reflect the hard work, character, and tenacity that define the Western lifestyle.Aged for a decade in white American oak barrels, Pendleton® 1910 Bourbon offers a robust and complex flavor profile. Notes of caramel, vanilla, and rye spice dance on the palate, leading to a lingering finish that’s as satisfying as it is memorable.”The Pendleton Round-UP is a big deal in Oregon. As someone who has lived in Oregon his whole life, I’ve known about Pendleton, the whiskey, and the round-up for as long as I could remember. It’s a wild event and draws crowds from around the world. Something unique about Pendleton is the name “Pendleton” is a registered trademark of Pendleton Woolen Mills (a textile brand whose artwork is inspired but the indigenous tribes of Oregon), and the logo (a bucking bronco) and catch-phrase “Let’er Buck” are owned by the Pendleton Round-Up. Hood River Distillers leases the name, logo, and catch-phrase. Really emphasizing the interconnected nature of the whiskey, the region, and the land.
