GRAPE BRANDIES

Hood River, Oregon (Hood River Distillers)

Clear Creek Distillery was founded in 1985 with a vision to use the bountiful fruits of the Pacific Northwest to create fruit-based spirits that rivaled the best of their European counterparts. Using Old-World techniques and sourcing ingredients from the local orchards and fresh water springs of Mount Hood in the Oregon countryside, Clear Creek became one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. Clear Creek, American Pot Still Brandy Made in a style reminiscent of Armagnac, the American Pot Still Brandy is single-distilled from the wonderful wines of the Pacific Northwest. Age ranges from 2 to 9 years in French Limousin oak barrels, this brandy is much less austere than many of its French cousins, and has lively, fresh, fruity character.
