Pendleton 1910 12 Year old Canadian Rye Whiskey

An elegantly aged and approachable rye whiskey, Pendleton 1910 blends peppery warmth, tobacco, and charred oak with a smooth core of maple and sweet cherry. Its balance of spice and sweetness makes it both contemplative on the rocks and compelling in classic cocktails. 

Origins & Craftsmanship

Distilled in Canada and aged a minimum of 12 years in oak barrels, this 100% rye whiskey honors the year of the first Pendleton Round-Up (1910). It’s finished and bottled by Hood River Distillers (Oregon), featuring signature saddle tooling design and the bucking-horse icon.

Tasting Profile

Nose: Nutmeg, cloves, and faint pineapple build a warmly spiced, well-rounded aroma. 
Palate: Layers of dried cherries, apples, muted tropical notes, and nutty toffee enrich the flavor, balanced by maple and sweet cherry undertones. 
Finish: Medium-dry finish with lingering tart cherry, a spicy rye kick, and peppery heat, tempered by smoothness and complexity.

Tasting Notes from Tastings.com (2023): Brown sugar, cinnamon, rye toast, maple, and caramel spices lead into a lively, tingling texture and medium-length finish—great neat or in spicy cocktails like tiki drinks.
