Daring, rich, complex. Few expressions capture Western rodeo heritage quite as well as Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye. One sip and you know that it’s a legend in its own right, worthy of a spot amongst the finest whiskies on your shelf.
This 12-year rye whisky is as bold in taste as it is in origin. Inspired by the historic Pendleton Round-Up, every bottle is crafted to honor the enduring American spirit of the West that unites us all.
Skill, determination, and resilience are all what define a cowboy. It’s also what creates a spirit of this nature.
All grit, no gimmicks. Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye is a 100% rye spirit crafted in Canada, a testament to time, patience, and craft. It starts with a 51% rye mashbill before maturing for 12 years in charred new oak barrels. Over time, the Northwest’s shifting climates test the whisky, shaping its unreplicable flavor. The result is a bold yet balanced pour layered with tobacco, charred oak, and rich butterscotch, finished with peppery heat and a lingering tart cherry note.
Much like the cowboys who inspired it, Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye isn’t about shortcuts; it’s earned through endurance, precision, and pride in the work. Every sip celebrates that spirit of hard work rewarded the kind that comes only to those who put in the time.
This is where legends were born. In 1910, visitors from across the American frontier were captivated by the first-ever Pendleton Round-Up in Pendleton, Oregon.
This rodeo was the real deal: bucking broncos, bull riding, steer wrestling and ceremonial tribal dancing. It was a place for authentic cowboys to gather and showcase their life’s work. It’s what inspired the inception of Pendleton® Whisky almost a century later, as well as the namesake of this bottle. Today, the rodeo’s legacy still lives on, wrangling up to 50,000 visitors annually for a taste of cowboy culture.
Just like Pendleton® Whisky Original or Pendleton® 1910 Bourbon, the bottle’s looks aren’t just for show. A closer look at Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye and this specific bottle reveals meaningful glasswork that nods to the West’s history, including embossed details of the famous bucking horse that first graced the Round-Up. Even the label was designed to look like a traditional rodeo ticket, paying tribute to the grit and resilience of those who took part in the rodeo since 1910. A true work of art, inside and out.
A straight-up, no-nonsense kind of whisky drink. Grab your favorite rocks glass and take your time nosing the spirit, absorbing the aromas before enjoying its palate and finish with small sips.
Although whisky on ice is heavily debated, we think it’s a great way to savor a glass worthy of reward. All you need to do is grab a rocks glass, fill two fingers full, add a clear ice cube and let the flavors of the spirit open up.
1910 Old Fashioned Cocktail: Our signature rye whisky in an Old Fashioned is about as elevated as it gets. All the usual suspects are here: bitters, sugar cube, club soda, and an orange twist. Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye is what shakes things up, allowing the true spiced character to shine through within this beloved classic cocktail.
Cowboy Palmer Cocktail: Craving something refreshing? A combination of tangy lemonade, tea, mint and 12-year-aged rye whisky, this cocktail is a reminder that it’s okay to kick up your feet and reward yourself.
1910 Whisky Sour: Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye is the best rye whisky for a cocktail like this one. Notes of tobacco, charred oak and butterscotch balance the sweet yet sour lemon flavor addition.

Hungry for more? This spirit’s versatility opens up flavor opportunities you may not have expected. Let’s dig in.
Savory: Due to the smoky, peppery nature, Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye complements rich, savory ingredients effortlessly. Try smoked or roasted meats like brisket and pork tenderloin, or sharp, nutty cheeses like cheddar, gouda, manchego. A charcuterie board pulls it all together.
Sweet: Cinnamon desserts, like apple crumble, bring out spice, while intense flavors, like black forest cake, dark chocolate, or toffee pudding, are balanced by the spirit’s refined palate. Try to pair with an American classic like cherry pie, which complements our rye whisky’s lingering cherry finish.
Holiday-inspired: Treats like gingerbread cookies or spiced shortbread go well with a dram after dinner as a nightcap. Or, kick things up a notch at cocktail hour by pairing with a classic cranberry and brie tartlet. And for the main course: a roast turkey with cranberry sauce for a fruit-forward balance of flavors.
