Pendleton Whisky

Pendleton Whisky is a brand of blended Canadian whisky, distilled in Canada, imported and bottled by Hood River Distillers, Inc., of Hood River, Oregon, distributed by Proximo Spirits, and owned by Becle, S.A.B. de C.V.

Pendleton Whisky was created in 2003 to honor the American cowboy and celebrates the tradition of the Pendleton Round-Up, an annual rodeo in Pendleton, Oregon, founded in 1910. The city of Pendleton, from which the rodeo and whisky derive their names, was named in 1880 in honor of George H. Pendleton, an 1864 Vice Presidential candidate known as a leading opponent of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery.
