WHISKEY AMERICAN

TRAIL’S END USA, KENTUCKY THE END of one path forms the beginning of another. This is not just our philosophy but our story. Trail’s End is a true born Kentucky Bourbon aged 8 years in charred new American Oak barrels. It then travels west to Oregon where it’s finished with Oregon Garryana Oak and glacier-fed spring water. What emerges is an instant classic. Notes of buttery caramel and vanilla from Kentucky with fruit and hazelnut expressions from Oregon. First collaboration between Hood River Distillers, the oldest distillery in Oregon, and our expert team at Clear Creek Distillery, the second-oldest distillery in Oregon. Gold SIP Awards ‘22 Gold SF World Spirits Competition ‘22 Trail’s End 10 YR Bourbon Whiskey 105PF / 750ML A select few barrels of 10-year Kentucky Bourbon follow the spiritual path of the Oregon Trail. Here we finish our bourbon in toasted Oregon Garry Oak casks to heighten the notes of vanilla and spice. Glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood completes the vision of our master distiller: A rare bourbon with hallmarks of age and heritage that flourishes with a provenance of its own. Double Gold SIP Northwest, Best of the Northwest ‘23 95pt NY International Spirits Competition ‘22 Trail’s End Apple Brandy Finish 105PF / 750ML This expression showcases an evolution of the brand’s portfolio. A way to educate the consumer as to what is possible when only one variable is changed. Staves to Casks to specialty finishes. Oak is the only factor. Our most recent addition is aged for 8 years in charred new American Oak barrels before it is finalized by the distillers at Clear Creek in their own apple brandy barrels, creating a bridge between our brand and theirs. Oaky and herbal, like barley tea sweetened with manuka honey. Tastes of pipe tobacco and red ale on the mid palate finish in a ghostly bitterness imparted by the barrel’s waning char. Warm September sweetness on the opening. Reminiscent of pie crust, maraschino cherries, flat cola, and late Summer petrichor.

SPIRIT WORKS DISTILLERY USA, CALIFORNIA Spirit Works makes everything in-house from milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling all the way through to bottling and shipping. While most Vodkas and Gins these days are made from re-distilled Neutral Grain Spirit (NGS), Spirit Works mills and distills organic California grown Hard Red Winter Wheat as the start to most of their spirits. Their Whiskeys are also aged in full size, 53-gallon new oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Their passion for locally grown grains and spirit-making without shortcuts shows in every drop of spirit they produce.
