Pendleton is launching its first bourbon

Pendleton Whiskey

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.

Bulleit Frontier Whiskey is launching a bottled-in-bond bourbon

Bulleit finally reached a bottled-in-bond whiskey

Bulleit

Bulleit Frontier Whiskey is well-known for its award-winning whiskeys, including Bulleit Bourbon, Bulleit Rye, Bulleit Rye 10, Bulleit Bourbon 10, and Bulleit Barrel Strength. But, with all those whiskeys, the brand had never released a bottled-in-bond bourbon. That is until now.
Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

Distilled in the spring of 2017, Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon was made with the brand's same high-rye mash bill and was distilled and entirely matured at Bulleit Distilling Company in Shelbyville, Kentucky. While bottled-in-bond whiskeys only need to mature for four years in federally bonded warehouses, Bulleit's expression spent a full seven years aging.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

What really is the difference between these two liquors?

I've been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I've learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka --this is especially true when both are unaged. Appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. Although, the same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff is when the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.
