About Pendleton Directors Reserve
Pendleton Directors' Reserve is an ultra-premium Canadian blended whisky aged 20 years in American oak barrels, distilled in Canada, bottled in Oregon, and produced by Proximo Spirits (also associated with Hood River Distillers). Cut to 40% ABV (80 proof) with pure glacier-fed spring water from Oregon's Mt. Hood, it delivers exceptional depth with notes of toasted coconut, cinnamon, oak, vanilla, orange zest, spices, pecans, walnuts, and rye warmth. What makes it special is its bold bridge between Canadian smoothness and American West heritage, inspired by the Pendleton Round-Up rodeo, complete with a handcrafted leathersmithed neck cuff by saddle maker Randy Severe. Ideal for discerning sippers who appreciate mature, complex whiskies for neat enjoyment on special occasions, it stands out in the Canadian category against younger blends by offering rare 20-year aging, richer oak influence, and nuanced fruit-spice layers at a premium 750ml price around $142.50-$245. Compared to standard Canadian whiskies, its extended maturation provides superior body and finish without harshness.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas evoke the American West with toasted coconut, freshly grated cinnamon, oak, vanilla, and orange zest. Subtle layers of leather, oatmilk, milk chocolate, praline, and citrus zest add complexity, with lifted nut-like oak surpassing many Canadian peers. Ripe red berries, light caramels, vanilla, and dried tobacco provide smooth depth.
👅 Palate
Full-bodied and chewy with vanilla swirl, cocoa, maple, massive fruit cake slices, and balanced big oak. Warm notes of oak, cinnamon, rye shine through, complemented by spices, pecans, and walnuts for a satiated mouthfeel. Smooth integration of dried fruit, mild spice, and accessible sweetness makes it remarkably sippable.
✨ Finish
Long, mature finish lingers with unadorned warmth and mild spice. Balanced and accessible, it evolves gracefully without bitterness.
