Pendleton Whisky is a brand of blended Canadian whisky, distilled in Canada, imported and bottled by Hood River Distillers, Inc., of Hood River, Oregon, [1] [2] 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. [3] The city of Pendleton, from which the rodeo and whisky derive their names, was named in 1880 in honor of George H. Pendleton, [4] an 1864 Vice Presidential candidate known as a leading opponent of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery.
