Cut with the finest. Glacier-fed spring water from Oregon's highest peak: Mt Hood. Approved by: RR Dodge. True Western Tradition: Pendleton Whisky was made to honor one of the most famous and respected rodeos in the world, the Pendleton Round-Up. First held in 1910, this legendary rodeo has taken place in northeast Oregon for over a century. Each batch of Pendleton is crafted using a masterful blend of ultra-premium whiskies distilled from the finest northern grains. The whisky is rested in American oak barrels before being cut to proof with pristine glacier-fed spring water from Oregon's highest peak, Mt. Hood. This time-honored process provides a consistently rich flavor with an uncommonly smooth finish.
