Hi Pendleton Fans!

As a representative for Pendleton® Whisky, I am elated to see that the quality and reliability of Pendleton® Whisky has provoked an extension of greatness with the release of Pendleton Midnight.

Similar to its predecessor and all Pendleton productsyou can count on quality. Pendleton Midnight follows in the footsteps of Pendleton® Whisky using pure glacier-fed spring water from Oregon’s Mt. Hood for a complex taste and exceptionally smooth finish.  Well balanced at 90 proof and with a portion of the blend aged over 6 years in American brandy barrels, this full-bodied spirit has a finish that fills the senses.  Inspired by the great outdoors and conversations held at sundown, Pendleton Midnight is best enjoyed neat and there is great character to embrace in every sip.

Pendleton Midnight has already achieved recognition from the professional palates of the Tasting Panel Magazine receiving 91 points.  

Some are born great; it’s up to you to decide. We believe Midnight lives up to the Pendleton name and are excited to share it with you!

I was recently challenged to a ‘drink-off’. No, not what you’re thinking, but rather to mix up a drink to share with friends. Each friend brings a different recipe. I thought this was the perfect time to demo the Mule Wrangler. With Pendleton® Whisky’s slightly sweet and smooth taste, it worked incredibly well as a base for the tartness of the fresh pomegranate juice to rest on.  Add a topper of authentic Ginger beer and you get that slight kick on your tongue.  It was a perfectly refreshing drink that reflects the September weather change, where it is crisp in the mornings and warm in the afternoon sun.
I would highly recommend this drink at your next outdoor gathering, perhaps a summer’s ending barbecue. Additionally, it is easy to make the base ahead of time (mixing Pendleton® Whisky and the pomegranate juice in advance) and just add the Ginger Beer when pouring the drink for friends.
Cheers!
